This paper explores the concept of reality through the lens of personal interpretations and the acceptance of differences. The author argues against the notion of a singular absolute truth and the importance of respecting individual beliefs. The text also discusses the role of inductive reasoning and physical perceptions in our understanding of reality. An object is defined as something material that can be perceived by the senses, and the author uses examples of tangible objects to illustrate their reality.

Arguing the reality of reality can send debaters in unending circles. No singular description of reality can be proven to be completely true. My belief is that people exist within their own interpretations of reality. My reality is not the reality of another. It is through the acceptance of others into our realities that we are allowed to grow and learn and experience life. Quite simply, I don’t believe that the intangible can be argued. One of the biggest debates around reality is the existence of a God or a higher power. God varies from one religion to another; people have different visualizations of Him, different interpretations for His laws for our lives, and different beliefs in how we will spend our time after we die. Wars have been fought debating the validity of one God over another, or debating if such a God even exists. My question is this: why must one God, with no variations or differences anywhere in the world, be the absolute truth and path I should follow in my life? Instead of trying to convince one another that the God one person believes in is superior to another, or arguing if a God exists, we should be accepting and respectful of differences in personal realities. I believe that, after death, all people are destined to spend eternity in the place they believe they will achieve. My reality tells me that if I spend my life working towards a common good, I will go to Heaven. My reality also tells me that a Buddhist will experience reincarnation after he or she dies. While I personally do not believe in reincarnation, I accept the beliefs of others to be true to their own lives. In regards to physical, tangible perceptions, the Skeptic doesn’t have much of a leg to stand on (do they even have legs, or are their senses fooling them?). Logic can dispute nearly any claim against the existence of a known physical object:
Mistakes would be repeated over and over due to a lack of belief in similar outcomes. Basic reality is what you see, know, and believe. I believe in a God, and that God exists for me. I can see my laptop in front of me, and I know that if I move my fingers in a specific way across the keys below the screen, words will form. This belief, this item, and this action are realities in my life. The Skeptic that states that the laptop may not be real will have a difficult time proving this to me. After all, I created a product to dispute his claims with the very item that doesn’t exist.
