Some people will argue that seeing is believing and that the physical presence of something makes it real, but I have to disagree. In the Bible, the disciples said that Jesus had resurrected from the dead, but Thomas refused to believe. He claimed that he would not believe until he could see Jesus and put his hands in Jesus’ wounds. This is how Thomas got the title "Thomas the doubter." So to me not everything in this world that is real is necessarily physically visible. This is also true because many things we see are not real. When people get old, tired or under the influence of drugs, the can sometimes start to hallucinate. The real definition of reality cannot be summed up into one sentence. My best fit for it would be all events, ideas and things that have happened or existed in the past and that continue to happen and exist in the future. The truth is reality, but many times it is impossible to know what is true and what is a lie. So reality will never be truly know all of the time. In order to make the best guess at what is real or not, we need to use previous knowledge, our best judgment, faith, and some common sense. Do not always believe what you see, because our eyes can deceive us.
