Is there actaully a 'real', or only that to which we attribute reality.?

Question

we only seem to describe things

Answer 1

Your experience is real, if you are processing it, with your mind, and attributing meaning to it.

Answer 2

well....lets see

in a world where everything is reletive i doubt if anything can be real for sure. What might be real for us, may not be a reality for many others.

Like for example: poverty is a reality of life for a begger but for a successful businessman, it would be only other person's incapibility to do something worthwhile. Again, a buffet and a silver crockery is a everyday reality for a millionair, but for a popper its a dream.

So, I guess the actual question should have been

Is there a "real in totallity"?

Another way of seeing this would be in a way question everything you belive to be real...

or is it just us who have chosen to call it so!!

Answer 3

Yes there is "real".

Without you attributing it as reality will it only seize to be real.Meaning that, if you refuse to see it as real, it Will not be real to you but real to the rest who believe so.

Thanks for asking dear

Answer 4

Morpheus: What is "real"? How do you define "real"?

Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.  

Answer 5

We cannot prove that there is any reality without relying on our own perception.  To do so, we would have to see beyond our own sight and hear beyond our own hearing, both of which are obviously contradictions in terms.  However, Descartes argued that we can prove one thing -- our own existence.  "I think; therefore, I am," he said.  In other words, I must exist since someone must be doing the thinking.

By the way, thanks for giving me a headache right before I go to sleep.

Answer 6

Reality laughs at our flawed perceptions of it and goes about its business -- running the Universe.

Answer 7

Reality exists.  It is not a figment of your imagination.
