Reality is such a personally constructed thing that sometimes it is uncertain which is reality, and which is fantasy. Take for example the case of someone who hallucinates. Their reality is questionable, and requires much corroboration before the facts can be ascertained. It is arduous and so much so that some opt to ignore them instead. Those who hallucinate are simply not credible.
Yet there are other times when truth is indeed stranger than reality. In a legal court, common sense prevails. What happens when common sense fails? What if the truth is stranger than fiction, such that innocents are incarcerated on the fact that their cases are simply implausible (but true)? Again we face the crisis of reality.
What is real? The question is asked so often that it is really quite trite by now. However, it seems that there is no definitive reality, only the one that people choose to believe in. Does this make their reality more real than that of the hallucinators?
