Reality

What is reality?  That has been the big question philosiphers have been asking for centuries.  Is reality a constant, unwavering thing? Is it a variable, changing into what the individual perceives it to be? Pherhaps it may be both of these things.  Maybe reality is a constant for us, but a variable to some higher power.  Maybe God changes our reality to suit whatever he sees fit.  Those who believe in the idea of realism, the idea that reality remains and never falters to anyone, make reality concrete and easier to grasp.  Those who believe in idealism, the idea that reality is only what we percieve, make reality more flexible.  Then there are the skeptics, those who question the actual existence of reality.  My view on reality is that one should not dwell to long trying to figure out what it is, lest they drive themselves mad.  Take a cue from the Beatles and "Let It Be".
