    • 4 Pages

What this implies is that each person has control over their own reality. It varies from person to person but also intertwines. Individual realities can interact with each other which add up and ultimately create other joint realities until an intricate “web” of realities is made that represents the world. I would consider myself an existentialist

    Reality is what you want it to be. Reality is a term that is used loosely‚ but comes in many different variations.
