have you ever wondered
Have you ever wondered if people see things the same way you do? Does the color Red look the same to someone else as it does to you? Do other people even exist? are they just figments of our imagination?
Sometimes i find myself wondering if this world even exists. A friend of mine turned me to this idea, that we might just be the figment of some greater beings imagination. It doesn’t even have to be a greater being, it could be a tree, or a pig, or even a sea slug.
Imagine that you are just the conciousness inside of something else. Your entire world is up to their imagination. You are just a dream, you don’t exist, save only when the sea slug decides to dream. It dreams of a world, it lives in this imaginary world through you, and your entire life, from birth to death, is all imaginary. When the sea slug wakes up, poof, this entire earth is gone, and you are just the conciousness of a sea slug on the ocean floor of some far off place.
It really makes me wonder though, about this whole “meaning of life”. Suppose we are just the imagination of something else. What would the meaning of life be? well, there would be none, because we don’t exist. There can’t be a meaning to LIFE if your not actually a living thing, but just a shadow in the back of the mind of something else.
So my great question is, why worry about drama, about school, about friends, about family, about life itself? If theres the possibility that none of this exists? My answer to this is, because thats what the “dream” is about. The dream is scripted to happen a certain way, and when those things happen, we deal with it the exact way we are supposed to.
What it boils down too now, is the fact that some of us have to make extremely difficult decisions in our lives, and sometimes torture ourselves over the choices we’ve made, or are about to make. We spend days deciding this or that, or regretting what we’ve done in the past. I say stop. Your life is scripted. Everything that you do is supposed to happen. Thats the way of the world. Don’t worry yourself over difficult decisions, because the choice you make is going to happen regardless of whether you think it through or not.
