The American Heritage Dictionary defines reality as "The totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence." However, when one looks up the word "actuality," the following definition results: "the state or fact of being actual; reality (Reality)." When even a dictionary, arguably the most basic of human knowledge repositories, relies on circular reasoning to get an idea across, it is obvious that we lack the ability to fully understand it. If humans, as the sole sapient being known to exist, cannot define something as axiomatic to our existence as reality itself, then reality's very actuality must be called into question.
