Reality is a subject that has become a part of our life. Whether an individual desires or dislikes it, there is no complete removal of it. It is like one's own shadow, which is inseparable. One succeeds in evading it with clever methods. The farther one goes away, the closer one comes into contact with it. It is always wise to be with the facts of life. An individual tries his best to be away from it using several strategies. When he happens to encounter directly, he is unable to withstand the issues of life. It is good that one should ever be associated with it.
