Delirium

For years I have always thought about the fact that I could live in a world of actors, actually this premonition occurred immediately following my first viewing of the "Truman Show." This movie, which stars Jim Carey, is about a man who grows up in a world full of actors and his life is televised without him having any knowledge of what is happening around him. Eventually, Truman figures out that his life is a show and to escape this fictional world all he must do is sail to the end of the dome (that covers his town) where a door leads to the outside world. The movie truly makes one think about their life in a different way, and similarly to "Shutter Island" it creates a sense of unsureness in one's mind. I mean truly, what if you lived in a world full of actors? Honestly, I could be writing this blog right now about being in a world full of actors and actually be in a world full of actors. How could one truly ever tell? Or another thought of mine is about mental stability and the question I often pose to myself: how am I ever sure if this is reality? I look at people who have extreme distortions on what is actually occurring around them, for example a person born with a mental disability, and I think what if I have that disability and just remain unaware that others differ from myself? Which leads into another question what if everything we experience is part of a dream and we just haven't woken up yet? Finally, what even is the purpose of living in reality? These mind-blowing questions are answered by people in different ways that contain elements of science, logic, and faith. My mind is already delirious from working long hours on the data sheet, which at this point I'm not even sure is a real assignment, so I conclude with an apology for this confusing post; however, it was necessary for me to release all of these questions from my brain to prevent an explosion.
