Reality is one of the possibilities I cannot afford to ignore

Leonard Cohen
About This Quote

Reality is one of the possibilities I cannot afford to ignore. It is the truth in which we live and breathe. The truth about our world is what makes it a reality. In a world where millions of people cannot even afford food to eat, the reality of the world is that millions of people are starving.

In a world where millions of people have been hurt or killed by others, the reality of the world is that millions of people have been hurt or killed by others. We live in a world where we wake up every day and go to bed every night and we do not know what will happen or how our life will change in the next moment. Whether we like it or not, we live in reality and we cannot ignore it.
