illusions
I came across an interesting concept today…basically all human life is based on illusions…not in the sense of say the Matrix where we’re actually all human batteries powering downright nasty synthetic machinery with our brain power but more like…well…try taking the whole world apart then grinding it into the finest powder, then passing it through the finest sieve possible…would you be able to prove conclusively that there is even one solitary atom of truth, justice, love, etc?to put it another way…could anyone prove without a doubt that all those magnificent qualities that define humans really do exist except in our heads?I can hear you arguing…isn’t love & kindness tangible in the good that people perform everyday such as charity, the kiss you give your loved one, the sacrifices you make for family…etc?but those are just manifestations of those supposed values don’t you think?bluntly put then…people need…dreams…to survive in this world…humans are fascinating creatures ’cause we’ve invented something miraculous in itself which is boredom!we make our own little worlds & the borders stop just so wherever we want them to…imagine what we’d do if we could really see the world in its entirety…truthfully…humankind probably wouldn’t have progressed much ’cause we’d probably revel in the beauty of something as simple as a flower leaving us prey to larger, hungrier animals with bigger teeth*grin*instead we can look at something quite amazing like a person’s smile or the whistling of the wind &…dismiss them…on the other hand perhaps if we could experience every aspect of what we do & its repercussions maybe we wouldn’t be so very eager to start wars or cause pain in the name of profit…we’d go mad if we did…it’s been scientifically proven after all that people don’t utilise more than 10% of their full brain capacity…would we better or worse if we were given the chance even for a day to use it all?I don’t know…
