twenty-six years, stuck in this reality, the monotony and pointlessness of it all its a sentiment many can relate to. survival, the ultimate goal, but to what end? the pervasive fear of death leads to a cycle of denial and complacency. yet, theres an inkling that this reality might be more intricate than it seems. births continue, celebrated without regard for the inherent cruelty of bringing someone into a world destined for mortality. the perceived randomness of conscious movement poses questions: do we truly control our actions or are they merely products of neuronal processes, a vast biological neural network? consciousness, an incessant loop, leaves us pondering. then, there's the uncharted realm within our minds: dreams and hallucinations. a world where anything can happen, but our visits are fleeting, measured in minutes, sometimes forgotten. a fortunate few achieve lucidity, controlling this inner realm, a rare experience youve savored. the desire lingers for more extended sojourns, to explore this world within for days or even an hour, with its untapped potential for meaning. this thirst for prolonged exploration resonates with a longing for depth and purpose in a seemingly mundane existence. its akin to diving into the intricate code of a software system, seeking to understand its hidden intricacies, hoping to unveil a grander design.
