Reality
Reality is the way things actually are, not how they are wished for, imagined, or feared. It includes everything that truly exists and happens, whether or not anyone notices it or likes it.
Reality is “what’s really going on” underneath opinions, stories, and guesses. It is the real situation you have to deal with: the actual events, limits, and possibilities, as opposed to hopes, illusions, or misunderstandings.
People can have different views or beliefs about reality, but those views do not change the facts themselves. When someone “faces reality,” they are trying to see and accept the true state of things, even if it is uncomfortable, so they can respond to life as it is rather than as they wish it were.
