So I've been thinking a lot about reality lately. Its difficult to think about it, being such a abstract concept. I s'pose the most important thing to do when addressing abstract concepts is to define them. So I figure, not in any textbook official sense, that reality is simply anything that is real. Reality is anything that exists. the whole difficulty with reality is that to understand anything we must rely on our individual perceptions. Obviously no one's perceptions are exactly the same, thus reality is relative. subject to change. But is there a true reality.
what happens to reality in time. is the past fiction? (certainly the future is) but how can we rest our reality on memories, when we know how faulty they can be.
so if something is constantly changing, and relative to each person, does it even exist? is reality real?


ok cool. i have some direction now. in reference to reality i want to know what the status of global warming is. i want to know if its a real threat, or a political scam. I want to know if it has a human origin, or if its a natural occurrence. I want to get to the bottom line. My coworker/ 6th grade teacher recently read a well researched book outlining global warming as a scam. In opposition, i heard al gore just put out a movie called "an inconvenient truth" about the reality of global warming. I intend to use that book and movie, as well as conversations with geography professors and internet research to get to the bottom of the debacle.
