Answer #1

The words, reality and truth, are two commonly used words that are often misconstrued by many as having similar meanings. However, it was further discovered that reality and truth are two words of different natures as well as meanings and purposes. Reality is basically defined as an existent fact. It has always been present ever since the entire universe began. Truth, on the contrary, is already an established fact. It is something that has already proven to be true, correct and genuine. Over the years of study, these two words are misinterpreted to be the same in spite having a variety of differences.

The difference between reality and truth is akin to difference between a discovery and invention. A discovery is self existent or something that has been existent right from the past, whereas invention is the one that has been found out with the help of the discovered facts.

Reality and truth runs in the way. Reality is the one that does not change its nature in the present as well as in the future. It is always of the same nature. On the other hand, truth can change its nature in due course. Many scientific truths were disproved in the past. The truth about the planetary motion was re-established later. Hence, truth sometimes is bound to change.

Reality tells us about the real nature of a particular thing, experience, existence and the like. Truth tells about the fact that has been invented or experimented. In other words it can be said that reality gives rise to truth. In this light, what is found in reality is what is given ultimately as truth. Hence truth needs the observance of reality.

It can therefore be claimed that, it takes time for reality to become truth.
