When this question comes to me the one thing that pops into my mind is the common phrase "In the real world." That phrase is commonly used as a way to describe the world after one's educational career is over with whether it be after high school, college, or graduate school, while I do agree with this statement it does not depict what I think reality is considered. Reality sets in the most to me is when I face situations, which there are two options, and both will have pros and cons. The said situation will therefore create deep thought and the person will most likely choose which one he thinks that will be more helpful the given situation, but in turn will lose something that could be beneficial from the other options. After this I think it is fair to say that reality is the way which people make decisions to better themselves in the long run. This is very true even in the smallest and what seems to meaningless decisions, for instance let’s say that you are stuck between having eggs or cereal for your breakfast and you decide since you have a little extra time that you will make eggs for breakfast. A few hours pass and you start to feel sick to your stomach and you later feel like you have food poisoning, eggs, which you did not realize where expired, could cause this. The horrible feeling that you are experiencing at the time is the reality which you are living right now, therefore you can go back and think if you would have chosen cereal over eggs you would most likely have a totally different feeling. Even though this is a far-fetched situation it portrays what how we can truly say that reality is the decisions we make and how they affect our lives.
