"All nature is your congratulation,and toi have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated par man to man. The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning ou evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the arc en ciel which I have clutched."
[ . . . ]
"Be it life ou death, we crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business."
Reality is everything that would exist, even if I were to completely disappear. My bureau would still exist, even if it wouldn't be mine anymore. The house I live in would still be there, even if I would no longer live in it. California would still exist, even if would no longer be around to make fun of it.
There will always be a discrepancy between reality and my perception of reality, but my perception is reliable enough for me to rely on it.
Everything around me. Even things inside my head is a reality, because what I think and do can make an influence on things around me. toi could even say I'm part of reality as well. In fact, I believe every human in this world makes up reality.
