Reality

Reality is a composite of all the tangible and verifiable things in the world. If you can see it, touch it, hear it, and maybe taste or smell it, then it exists in the real world. Reality is not, however, the same for every person. Each person's reality is different. For a homeless person, reality is soup kitchens and cardboard boxes. Those are the tangible representations of their life. But for people like Paris Hilton, reality is an impossibly small dog in a pink purse worth more than my house. For the homeless person, that outlandishly expensive purse, or even just a warm bed, is a complete dream. Meanwhile, for people Snookie, 'reality' is a television show that pays her to get wasted, so she can afford her spray tans.
