What is the Real Nature of Reality

Great writers deal with reality. The greater writers deal with deeper reality. But then again what in hell is reality? Who can define it? I tip off my hat to the greatest of writers – the scientists. They are honest enough to admit that neither they nor anyone else for that matter have the foggiest notion what precisely comprises reality. If reality, in fact, stands for anything material or spiritual, solid or liquid, or what-not? Which is real the matter in energy or the energy in matter? Which is real the world in a grain of sand or the grain in the world of sand? At the heart of reality lies not an answer, but a question: why is there something rather than nothing? The answer is that here is no answer, only a question. What precisely is that something? Who knows? Nothing seems real except the laws of nature; but the mother of all laws is that of birth, growth, death, and decay; indeed, evolution and dissolution everywhere. Poch Suzara
