Reality

I was presented with a question; "When i hear the word 'reality', what is the first thing to come to mind?"

    When I hear the word "reality" the first thing that comes to mind is pain. Reality brings pain. We like to stay in our own little world so we don't feel that kind of pain. That is why humans are naturally selfish. We're afraid to step our of our little world and experience someone else's because our fake reality will be shattered.

"What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word 'reality'?" Short answer, yes. But I don't know how to lengthen it without repeating myself. Let me hear what you think and if you agree or disagree with me.
