    Reality and truth are both so hackneyed in a commonplace manner with over-lapping ideas that they each lose their own individuality. Reality is a subjective value that reflects what characterizes our world‚ whether it is our individual world or the world as a whole‚ and its conditions. Oliver Sacks’ "The Mind’s Eye: What the Blind See" and Tim O’Brien’s "How to Tell a True War Story" bring the relationship of truth and reality into question. O’Brien openly uses the thin line between truth and reality

    What exactly is the truth? Is it reality‚ sincerity‚ integrity? Is it accuracy and honesty? How can we tell the difference between the truth and lies?
