What is Reality?

[AloneTM]

A person who thinks all the time
Has nothing to think about except thoughts
So, he loses touch with reality
And lives in a world of illusions

By thoughts I mean specifically, chatter in the skull
Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words
Of reckoning and calculating

I'm not saying that thinking is bad
Like everybody else
It's useful in moderation

A good servant, but a bad master
And all civilized peoples
Have increasingly become crazy and self destructive
Because through excessive thinking

The have lost touch with reality
That to say...
We confuse signs
With the real world...

This is the beginning of meditation

Most of us would have
Rather money than tangible wealth
And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed

And to read about it the next day in the newspaper
Is oddly more fun for us than the original event
This is a disaster...

For as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs

We are destroying nature
We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
Time to wake up
What is reality?

Obviously... no one can say
Because it isn't words
It isn't material, that's just an idea
Reality is...

The point cannot be explained in words
Im not trying to put you down
It's an expression of you as you are

One must live...
We need to survive to go on...
We must go on.

You sound like a book I’m reading
“Challenger deep”
It’s about someone’s loss of reality, hallucination, schizophrenia, nightmares, and dreams. It makes it to where he eventually cannot tell the different between reality and dreams, because they’re so intense and vivid. It’s really good so far.
