What is reality...My confusions and confessions

I honestly detest harbouring any sort of confusions in my mind. At a recent debate I was asked what my definition of reality is. Somehow my ability to present arguments which give a different angle all the time was strangled. Making up some good english sentences I left the stage admitting the judge got the better side of the idealist me. Coming out of pessimism earlier in my life, I had defined reality as the ability to achieve anything and everything. To my surprise there were to be many clauses to this thinking.Destiny was cursed enough thankfully, to not waste an iota of space in my mind.

Reality is governed by our hopes,passions,achievements,people. Most of the factors depend on us to draft ourselves the way we like.

In the field of science, art and commerce impossible is but a word of intimidation. Dreaming is a prerequisite to devlop the vision and the idea. Hardwork,Intelligence and genral personality play a major role in framing the outcome. All these things can me mended provided the resources and commitment is there.In short it is a possibility.

Relationships and people however have abstract behaviour. "You can never make anyone love you". Free will has to be respected to bring out feelings from within rather than being instigated by fear or social insecurity or any other dubious factor. It hurts idealistic people the most to accept this fact and maintain a psychological balance.

At a certain time a being does not possess the sources to achieve what he wishes. The causes can be limitation of thoughts,materialistic shortcomings, emotional bindings etc. Timing is again an important factor. Realising that timing is a factor is a bigger factor. Keeping these loopholes in mind reality can be defined as "sensible dreaming and subsequent achieving". This statement chokes the ideology of life being one's best friend to offer anything and everything we wish provided we work on it.

Nobody thought it was possible to have a concept like "relativity" until Einstein started working on it. His reality was a journey rather than a destination.He could never bring out "The Theory Of Everything" which combined Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity. Until now it has not been found. Scientists have been working on a theory called " String/Membrane Theory" for the last twenty years to solve this problem which just shows how some people think with no strings attached. The end result is obviously a fruit to savour, however the path is more brilliant. Of dreaming the extraordinary and woking towards it. Success in this regard depends on the same factors described before ranging from intelligence to limitations. The risk involved is much more but satisfaction as many believe putting themselves in other's shoes is higher.

Nature can often play spoil sport and there are even situations where man has won over nautre be the vertical spread of Earthquake ridden Tokyo or the entire existance of mankind during the Ice Age. However if the planet was to be striked out by some phenomena of nature we could not have done anything to prevent it. Or maybe we could have. Just our belief that we cannot, helps to convince us that we cannot. If someone starts working on such vague complications we might just have a solution.

The problem arises in estimating the power and influence of (Nature/ God/Supernatural Entities/Destiny). Anyone and everyone who has tried to give a scientific solution related to this has been unsuccessful. Till now basic concepts like Evolution have not been decoded.Religious doctrines often define the limitaion of the human race and offer advice to devlop faith.

Overall outcome comes to a choice of deciding your interpretation of reality. My Personal belief is that some universal power governs the entire system. I have no fear in accepting that I belive in challenging it whenever required.

We can dream about anything. The more we work for it our chances increase of achieving it. Let the road be your prerogative achievements will surprise you. This is reality for me.
That debate should have been won.
