One side of being, Existence cannot be concieved, so it cannot be defined. On the near end of being, life is purely phenomenal to all that know life, and life cannot be defined except in the most general or subjective terms. In between these two extremes is reality, from the word, Res, meaning: thing. We cannot fully define reality because we cannot define its two ends fully. That does not mean we cannot give some definition to reality, or know something of it. It is the only facet of being of which we can know anything in an objective sense, since others share reality as a phenomenon. Thanks.
