The Real Reality

Reality is that which defines the features of our surroundings. There are frontiers of modern science which have began to shake the foundations of the description of reality. Some say that this world is nothing more than a computer simulation because at the quantum level things become pixelated. I believe that reality is based on human bias. There is no way of telling if the world disappears when we are not looking. There is no way to define anything other than what we define as real. Real is anything within human existence. Saying that dreams are not real would be a false statement, because they do actually occur and there is a measurable biological process behind it. Within reality lies actuality. Things which we as humans perceive to be flawlessly existent and ever dependent to be "real" are what we "actually" experience throughout daily life. There are other things which are real that people either do not know about, or pass off as hoax. I am not claiming the existence of aliens or sasquatches, but many inherent aspects of life are known only by a few people. Imagine a cosmologist explaining the origins of the universe to a grade school child. The child would be so perplexed he would not even be able to try to understand it. Some things which fit into the category of real may be so complex and startling that we as human beings do not have the mental capacity to grasp them. Real is not only what shapes our lives, it is also what gives us life.
