Lexi, you posted something different than what I googled through Wikipedia. Here's the beginning of REALITY:

Reality, in everyday usage, means "the state of things as they actually exist". [1] [2] The term reality, in its widest sense, includes everything that is, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. Reality in this sense may include both being and nothingness, whereas existence is often restricted to being (compare with nature). In other words, "reality", as a philosophical category includes the formal concept of "nothingness" and articulations and combinations of it with other concepts (those possessing extension in physical objects or processes for example)

And it goes on and on.

Maybe you could clarify between real life and reality, which one do you want to talk about?
I posted the part that was the best description IMO, you posted the first part of the article and didn't read the whole article. There are many different discriptions of the word reality and that's the point I'm trying to make. One persons reality is not the same as anothers and if it's different that doesn't mean that either person is wrong.

What does it mean to you?
