The "Real" World

Real: being such or happening so in fact; not imagined; true; actual

Realism: the seeing of things as they really are, not as one might wish them to be

Realistic: facing facts with realism; practical

Are we living in a "real"world?
Are we really facing the "realism" of the "real" world?
Are we "realistic" about our world?

Questions that are asked but no true answers to be found. Opinions, graphs, charts, facts, and statistically matters all to support the answers about our society. But, is our society ready to face real truths? Is our society scared of being real or realistic about one another?

Everyone often uses the line "keeping real," but how often is that the truth. Since bogging has become more and more popular over the past years. Society has found a new way to hide behind the facet of the everyday average Dick and Jane mentality. Hence, I may not say it to your face but in the privacy of my own home, I am the law.

We use blogging to post our own, ideas, beliefs, facts, opinion, and yes sometimes the outrageous claims of the "I KNOW IT ALL AND IT'S MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT" syndrome. In this fast paced world were does "realism" meet "reality." Where does right cross with wrong, and where does what was once safe becomes detrimental?

We all have the freedom of speech and the right to exercise that with caution. Laws of gravity thought us that what goes up will come down. What we say in the present maybe not come to light until later in life. Each person in society wishes to leave a mark on this world. Whither it was winning your fourth grade spelling bee, or becoming a father for the first time, we teach at a early age about our freedoms and rights.

In teaching comes responsibility and educating the world around us. When we are babes, we are carried throughout the first months of our lives. We evolve through rolling for stomach to back and back to stomach. Sitting up on our own for the first time, to scooting, to crawling, and the ultimately taking the first steps. Language skills work the same way. As a society have we stopped evovling? Furthermore, have we stop growing and are convinced that we are safe and the world around us is real?

Questions that are unanswered, but do we as a society want the truth?
