Realities are the fundamental truths that shape how the world, communities and people actually operate. A reality could be the rule of thumb that the speed limit is 72 mph rather than the posted speed limit of 65 on the sign. A reality could be a perception that most people do not like telemarketer calls. People, organizations and communities may have defined beliefs, processes or bylaws to operate, realities are how they actually operate.

Almost every idea, business, product, service or concept that has ever been conceived, has been done without knowing the realities we now know today.
