I don’t know what I believe. The world’s so hazy, and confused, and subjective. Every “truth” is contradicted by another, even the most simple of them. It seems like no one lives in actuality, just the reality of what they choose, consciously or unconsciously, to believe as true. I don’t know what my reality is. I can’t tell what is really, actually true. I don’t know what to believe.

+1 again. You can’t but live inside your own reality. The world is but the contents of your mind. That’s fucking scary.

Agree, also, with T.A. and OP. It’s scary how it’s all in your head. I use to wonder, when I was really bored, about a lot of “what-if”s. One of them was what if all of this was just simulated and I was just lying still in some sort of machine that stimulated the brain into thinking that I was doing stuff, or if I was just a brain the the machine made the brain think there was more.
Now that I’m a little older, I too sometimes wonder if what I believe is true. But in the end, you just have to chose what is and is not real for you.
#2, Or… You know… Don’t think about it at all. I mean, I’d like to be able to just “choose” what’s real and what’s not. But I can’t. I’ll always know that I might be wrong. So instead, my approach to the dilemma is to not think about it at all. Seriously, in this case, ignorance is very much bliss. Just enjoy life (if it is really life) and do good, please those around you, and look forward to the afterlife (whether it be waking up in a science lab and unplugging yourself from a machine or waking up in front of God). Fucking…. Scary.

I feel the same, I also feel as though there are as many “truths” as there are people in the world.
