The Various Realities
The 3 BIG Realties
We all use the word reality as though it had one common meaning that we could all agree on. Sometimes maybe we agree but often we don’t. There are 3 really big and very important realities that we all have to deal with one way or another.
1. The world out there. This reality is pretty obvious to some of us but less clear to others. This is the world of hurricanes and muggings and train wrecks. The world of all the unpredictable disasters as well as all of the unexpected good surprises. Finding the 20 dollar bill, going to a movie and meeting your future spouse. We have almost no control over this world at all. We can’t do anything to completely protect ourselves from a drunken driver or a suicide bomber or cancer or whatever.
