Reality

     
     I always thought that reality is a relative state of mind. We chose to perceive one thing as truth and another as fiction. But, I was wrong.

     It is reality that chooses us and shapes us to be who we are. Therefore, It makes your destiny to become a doctor, a pilot, an engineer, a philosopher or even a simple commoner. We are born in certain realities that shape our personalities into being a well defined entity or just another sheep in the herd. To think that we own our destiny was a mere presumption that led to the destruction of self comprehension. I though I knew what's real and what's not. But now, I came to the sad realization that I knew nothing of this so called reality!

     My evidence and the cornerstone of my argument was that pain is reality. And by sensing pain we perceive the true meaning of reality. But, I forgot that pain exist even in dreams as well as reality and may have been more real in our dreams than it is in reality. To make a valid point, one must submit his evidence that reality define us and we don't define it. So, if we considered reality a separate entity from us.

"    Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." ― Albert Einstein

     We were born in this world to be one thing or another. We were given the necessary tools and left to chose. And that would make you think you own your destiny! But assume that those tools were not provided, how much chance you really have to succeed ?!

     I have lost hope in "free will", cause now I'm sure that there's a much superior existence that plays us like toys! Just as Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and entrances."
