Reality is the moment in which you exist right now. Your past and the future are just stories you make up about those moments.

If you believe in the infinity of time and space, then other dimensions exist and somewhere, in some dimension not only CAN anything happen, it HAS to happen. yea?

Personal reality is the trajectory we trace on the swings and roundabouts of life. For some people its very flat.
