Reality

Reality is the part of existence which we realize, or are aware of - whereas actuality is all that which really exists whether we realize it or not.

All of reality is a constantly changing illusion which is dependent on our awareness of it, whereas actuality is independent of our perception of it.

Enlightenment is the step we take when we let go of the illusions we call reality and become aware of actuality.
1. Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. - Albert Einstein

2. Everything exists, even if it's only in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the reality of here and now?” - John Lennon

3. Sometimes it is an appropriate response to reality to go insane. - Philip K. Dick

4. You cannot see things as they are. Your reality consists of seeing things as *you* are. Therefore judge no-one, lest you be judged by your own words. - Anon.

reality tv

A cash cow that has been milked to death by Fox, ABC, and MTV. The concept was interesting at first, but now the only thing interesting about it is seeing how low the networks will go for ratings. If you watched "Who's Your Daddy?" or "Who wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire?", you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Besides, most of it is staged, anyway.

RealOta

The lesser-known brand of "super-size" vehicles that are driven by "the really big boys" --- i.e., Bigfoot, Paul Bunyan, etc. --- rather than just ordinary-sized humans... us lowly six-foot mortals have to just drive the "Toy" Ota vehicles, since we're not "big enough" to "safely handle the real thing".
I'd always wondered what kind of logging-truck Paul Bunyan would drive, but now that I've seen photos in the Guinness Book of World Records of the "biggest dump trucks in the world", I have an idea of what Paul's trucks probably look like... I'm guessing that those behemoths must be custom-made by the RealOta Motor Company specially for his use only; regular pint-sized humans like me hafta just drive ToyOtas.
