Reading Reality
Do you know what is reality? Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. In a wider definition, reality includes everything that is and has been, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. A still more broad definition includes everything that has existed and exists. Reality is the condition that most people have accept what they see, hear, feel as a normal condition and doesnt care where it come from, for what purposes, and what consequences it will bring as long as it unrelated with themselves. And what about fiction? Fiction is imaginary, delusional, (only) in the mind, dreams, what is abstract, what is false, or what is fictional. Fiction is something that we see and feel but our brain refuse to acknowledge it as a fact and conclude it as a imaginary. In the past, there are a solid line that have divided between reality and fiction. People think that something unnatural or out of this world is a fiction and something that comprehend as a reality. But in these resent years, those line have become more and more vague. People have make a invention that for once have been thought as a fiction. Flying car, outerspace plane, invisible cloak, and the most groundbreaking was the human-type robot that looks like a person that can answer a question even though it only can answer with a simple response like nodding or yes and no. These invention for once have been thought as a imaginary and delusion, but the scientist have develop them and prove that we can make what we think as a fiction into a reality. As the times hitting 20th century, our reality have been mixed with fiction. With the development of AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) that can make another reality/world without limit, by various country and organization, altough its still developed in secret. I believe in 10 to 15 years we can live in two different world at the same time. Same reality. Same world but different live. One with limited life. And one with unlimited life. So which world you prefer..? Which reality you want to live at..?
