Is Reality Real?

Depends which way you look at it. The question was repeated during the rest stop on the Sunday bike ride. I overheard Mark speaking about it. He'd heard a scientist discuss it on BBC.
Assume your reality is real. Is it the same as your neighbours? What makes reality? The world around you or the way you think? Suppose it’s different for everyone. Depending how we were raised. Where we were raised.
I search reality and read comments on Twitter and Facebook that say "Back to reality." Assume that is the end of a holiday and back to reality means back to work and paying the bills.
Be nice if reality didn’t have anything to do with money. 
Guess it wouldn’t be real then would it?

Mind Bends

Radical indifferences. Sublime characters. Games people play. Choices.
Perceived innocence. Conceptual charm. Altered states. Gambling with reality.
We are deployed prisoners of the real word. Captured morals. Reinstated by laws. Be it others points of view. Daring to imagine. Frightened by mystique.
What if all we know is not what is? We live here or there.
If the world ended tomorrow what would really matter today?
