Reality is to see, think, and understand the same as the majority of people.
Those who are the exception are diagnosed as mad.

Reality is like time...it is all relative. This is the difficulty. There is what is called the Prime Reality, but to know this (now I am getting into a little Buddhist philosophy) Prime reality one must be completely devoid of self. It is the self the mixture of Ego, Eros, Id, and superego --along with personal knowledge. that dictates what reality people experience.
Read Dr. William Glasser and Choice Theory. This theory deals a lot with Maslov's Hierarchy of needs and what it does to our perceptions and decision making. We really do not need to get into Jung or Frued on the subject of how our inner self can distort and manipulate our perceptions to the point of delusion (in fact, some people who claim to hear voice actually ARE hearing them...their auditory center of the brain reacts as if there really is sound..even though nothing is out there.)
Therefore, there is a Reality that is the ultimate Reality; however, we are unable to experience it truly because what makes us 'us' filters the world making what we experience as reality different from Reality.
now that's real

You are correct to a point. Each of us has our own reality and it may not be the same for everyone. But love being good and killing being wrong are beliefs or ethics, not realities.
That we will die is a reality no one can escape. That the sky is blue is a reality as well, but dependent on where you are and what the weather is at any given time.

Reality in everyday usage means "everything that exists". The term reality, in its widest sense, includes everything that is, whether it is observable, comprehensible, or self-contradictory by science, philosophy, or any other system of analysis. Reality in this sense may include both being and nothingness, whereas existence is often restricted to being (compare with nature).
In the strict sense of Western philosophy, there are levels or gradation to the nature and conception of reality. These levels include, from the most subjective to the most rigorous: phenomenological reality, truth, fact, and axiom.

Objective reality has the preponderance of the evidence (from the most experts) to support its perceptions, observations and conclusions.
