Sorry, just another fictional. part 2
Standing here, in this room together. Yes, I suppose that’s true. In a broader sense, we’re on the planet Earth, in the Milky Way, in our universe.
But where exactly is that?
That there is the one question that has served to boggle my mind each and every time I think it up. Perhaps it is one that has been dwelt on since the world of mankind began. Where are we, how did we get here, and why?
A set of questions, really.
What frustrates me the most is wondering where we are.
In a house, in a country, on a planet, in the universe, Right?
But where is the universe? Is there something bigger? What is the universe in?
Every time I try to think of this, it feels as though my brain is wallowing in quicksand. Everything slows down and nothing stays clear, like I’m sinking further and further away from the truth.
The only thought I manage to catch hold of, before I give up thinking, is that maybe this is all one big puppet theater. It sounds strange, even to me, but I feel like it makes a bit of sense, if you look at it abstractly.
What if, we are just like tiny puppets entertaining some larger audience in another “plane of existence”, or something?
Or, we could be an ongoing experiment created by advanced scientists somewhere far away. Like lab rats that live their entire lives thinking that wandering mazes in search of cheese is a completely natural everyday occurrence brought about by fate or an unknown rat-deity instead of by human hands.
I would like to hope this isn’t the case, because you know for every successful experiment, there are several failed ones that end up being scrapped.
Perhaps it’s just my own will to give up when the endless possibilities become too confusing that keeps me from thinking of a clear answer, but perhaps that imaginary wall is actually a defense barrier put there by whatever is controlling us. I assumer they wouldn’t want us to know who’s been replacing the cheese every night; it would ruin the experiment, and possibly cause some huge rat -I mean, human- uprising. That considered, it is understandable that they’d want to protect their secrets.
I feel like laughing at myself now for sounding so much like an enthusiastic science-fiction novelist on the verge of a breakthrough in literature. Maybe I am, and I just don’t know it yet…
Do they know; whoever “they” are?
I’ve also often thought that perhaps we’re all just dreaming. Floating in tanks somewhere, or not existing at all. Perhaps I’m the only one that exists, and everything else is just my imagination. Maybe I don’t exist either, I could be nothing more than a bundle of thoughts, and the “me” I see in the mirror is an image conjured up by the jumble of ideas that is coming up with this junk you’re reading… But I suppose if you’re reading this, and I don’t know you or your thoughts then you must exist. But how do I know you actually have thoughts, and you don’t just look like your thinking so I think you are…
All right, I’m starting to confuse myself now.
Where are we, how did we get here, and why?
The answers to these questions, I don’t think people will ever really know or understand. But returning to the puppet theater idea for a moment, I think I’ve come up with a thought to, at least partially, pacify my mind.
You see, I think maybe Shakespeare had the same idea when he wrote that famous quote from his play “As You Like It”.
“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.”
Taking from this, I’ve decided that it isn’t my business what goes on outside the universe. If someone else wants to discover those mysterious truths, they can go on ahead, but I’d rather stay the happily oblivious rat until the evidence is shoved under my nose.
The way I see it, if the world is really a stage, or a giant puppet theater, there’s nothing we can do about it, so we might as well just put on a good show.
Well that's it, the end of my three original English works....
Hope you like this one, it was kind of fun to just go crazy and write whatever weirdness came to my mind...
Expect more weirdness in my next few posts as they should be including either Yukihiro The Lion, or Lost in Canada... Both of which are incredibly mad....
ALSO... I may give out a hint as to the project I intend to tart AFTER I'm finished with those two.... For now, all I'll say is it is equally as insane and based on a friend's dream... Haha, I'm looking forward to posting here again soon!
