Reality

In my opinion the definition of reality can vary. What may be reality to one, may not be reality to another. Each person has their own perception of what reality is. While I may believe in Christianity, another person may not, making our versions of reality very different. The reason why reality differs from person to person is that everyone has different opinions and also many people lie and are deceiving nowadays. One good example I can think of is the reality of a relationship between a guy and a girl. The guy may tell the girl that she is the love of his life and he would never do anything to hurt her and then cheat on her and never tell her. The girls idea of reality is a little different from what actually is. I have seen this happen much too often in college relationships, which is why it is the best example I can come up with. We are also deceived on a daily basis by reality television. While broadcasters sit there and call it "reality," we all know very well that a lot of these shows are somewhat, if not completely scripted. Take the MTV hit "The Hills" for example. Viewers went through seasons of the show believing it was reality, only to be hit with the bomb that it was in fact not. At the very end of the last show, they showed the set of the show, displaying that the show was scripted and not real in the least bit. Based on all of this I feel that reality is all about one's perception of the world. People also have the ability to make their reality what they want. They have the choice to believe things or not to. They also have the choice to do what they want with their own form of reality. Reality is a very broad category that can vary from person to person.
