What is real?

I’ve spent a better half of my afternoon outside, working on tasks around the house. Sun was shining in this middle of October and I was a happy camper in my t-shirt. I was stacking the firewood, putting together a big wooden lid for the compost and preparing surroundings of the house for rainy November and after.

At the end of the day, I could see all the stacked wood, I could use the lid and the surroundings were nice to look at. Even our neighbor praised my efforts. After work I had a beer and ate a delicious dinner. A long shower for physical and soul cleansing.

And here I am. Behind my computer again. Anything I was working on outside today is well seen and I can be proud of all the work for weeks and months to come. Anything done on the computer goes away every time I turn off the computer. Sure, it’s there, on the internet forever, but is it real?

Is anything that we cannot touch, smell or taste even real?
