I wonder what if life we live is nothing but a illusion. Self created delusion? Maybe life is too big and incomprehensible. Maybe human mind finds unknown scary hence it builds contraptions like society or marks nodes/milestones to mark/keep sanity. Nature abhors vacuum, so does human. We construct so many social systems and call it societal conventions to govern human life. Any deviation is termed either break-through or attacked upon. We let clock define our days and nights. We have nodes of habits at various times of a day. Wake up at particular hour, eat n sleep at another. Work in between. Similarly we have nodes on our time on earth. Education- Marriage-Kids-Retirement at preset time periods. Any deviation, either you are prodigy , visionary or anarchist or failure. Who sets all these rules?
Society? Society is the name we give to our
fears. Conventions are what stop us from exploring beyond . We invented nodes like Time,Calender ,n other convention to reduce unfathomable life to human level. We make ourself hopelessly busy with vagaries of life to avoid The Life. Busy with work. Busy with holiday.

Now what if all these nodes dont exist? What if Yesterday- Today-Tomorrow or Ceiling-Floor dont exist? Will we be Soaring in endless bliss or caught in state of perpetual confused limbo?
What is time? Your Time need not be my Time. My one day can mean one full life of some insect. Dogs grow into adulthood in 2-3 years and Humans take 20 yrs. Simple astrophysics says light emitted by stars we see are years old. That star has emitted light and we might've taken an month or year to see it. So star lights future is our present experience. What if star imploded and died. Yet after its death we see it as present coz of time taken for light beam to reach us. Past (light reaching us) Present (we are seeing now)Future (from stars view the beam is future event). Hence Past Present and Future existing in single moment.
Questioning again. What ? What if you are experiencing what you believe but not reality? You can see rope and believe it as snake which becomes your reality. Entire body-mind chemistry (Adrenaline, Excitement etc) gets into gear on your belief of truth. Not necessarily The Truth. Maybe entire world is just a dream and we need to wake up like in film Matrix.! But again did you ever ask your self where does the dream begin. Its always in the middle (line from Inception) .
Above blog inspired from my boredom and finds resonance from films like Inception n Interstellar and Matrix .
