What does it mean when they say something is real? How does it contrast, or does it, with truth and being and actuality?
 
ill give it a shot:D

Reality is something objective that can be material or immaterial. Truth is a statement made about that reality.

an example: no matter how much I jump up and down using my own power, I will never be able to jump into space.

I cant think of any situations where truth can contrast reality, but our ability to grasp the truth of reality can definitely be wrong.
 
Reality is what actually “is”.
Truth is a statement that conforms to reality.

I’m not sure about the full meaning of “being” - if it can be applied to thoughts as well as material and spiritual “beings”. Help anyone?
