Reality Versus Truth


The words “reality” and “truth” mean the same thing; however, the word “reality” suggests a physical object while truth is conceived of as a statement.  Also, one’s concept (idea) of truth is commonly hypostatized; that is, virtually everyone unconsciously mistakes their concept of truth to, in effect, be a part of the definition of “truth.”  In other words, virtually everyone (incorrectly) believes that a truth is a type of statement.
