" What's real and what's true aren't necessarily the same. "

Truth and reality are not always the same, it can be different at times for different people. What you think is a reality now, might not be true but just because everyone is operating on the same level and the world has accepted that norm, you think it is reality. But maybe it's not true because the norms society has set for people are also based on some belief system of a person which is limited.

So don't be quick to accept or neglect things, see the situation as it is with an open mind and see the different possibilities.
