Reality

I think reality is something that we live in everyday. Anything that happens to us is reality, meaning what we do, what we see, what we hear, etc. Dreams can even be considered reality because they happen to us, but what happens in the dream is not reality because those events happened within the dream. People sometime call things that we see unreal only because they cannot believe that it happened though it is still a part of reality. It occurred. Others sometimes argue that our entire lives are not real, which I find quite stupid. Of course it is real because we can feel it and live it. Reality is our everyday lives and there is nothing we can do to prove it otherwise. Yes there are fantasies we hear about and certain events that are hard to believe in movies such as Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, but again, the movie itself is reality because we experience the movie but since what is happening in the movies is not happening to us, it is not reality. One could say the same thing about the news, but because the places they talk about actually exist, that is reality to us.
