not really, I believe in nothing, and expect nothing and I'm never dissapointed. Works out quite well.

You know there is a poll button added automatically you don't need to link to you.

I linked to the poll in the hopes that more people would vote! But unfortunately, this thread is falling like it doesn't exist.

Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream, Neo? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? ~ Morpheus

thoughts just run wild thinkng about this. Can think of arguments for both sides. But tend to believe that reality is not real.

'reality' is only relative. It depends on how you look at it.

When talking quantum mechanics, 'reality' becomes totally surrealistic, like particles that can be at two places at the same time :)

BTW Yzzim, great quote!

Reality must be real. I gotta think that if it wasn't, I could come up with better things to do at 545am than be on AT.
 

*shrug*
Seems as if I have some sort of control of what I want to do.
Not that my very short term here will be long enough to find out anything.
So I say, why ask?
:D

saxman, the answers in the poll are all nonsense.

Problem is that you can not give a definition of 'reality'. There is not just one reality. You can't describe it.

Maybe you should refine your question.

  • The Supermen
    by David Bowie 1971
    • When all the world was very young
      And mountain magic heavy hung
      The supermen would walk in file
      Guardians of a loveless isle
      And gloomy browed with superfear their tragic endless lives
      Could heave nor sigh
      In solemn, perverse serenity, wondrous beings chained to life

      Strange games they would play then
      No death for the perfect men
      Life rolls into one for them
      So softly a supergod cries

      Where all were minds in uni-thought
      Power weird by mystics taught
      No pain, no joy, no power too great
      Colossal strength to grasp a fate
      Where sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers
      Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
      A man would tear his brother's flesh, a chance to die
      To turn to mold.

      Far out in the red-sky
      Far out from the sad eyes
      Strange, mad celebration
      So softly a supergod cries

      Far out in the red-sky
      Far out from the sad eyes
      Strange, mad celebration
      So softly a supergod dies...

Reality is entirely what you make of it. Yes, it exists, but in a slightly different way for each person.

Reality is a frame of mind... "There is no right and wrong. There is only fun and boring!"
