Your world is an illusion. Your choices are irrelevant. Your friends, your family, and everyone around you are just manifestations of your mind.
You’re a trapped animal in a cage: a virtual reality created more than 250,000 years ago for a single purpose: to use you as food.
Your emotions are food for those who created the cage. Feelings of happiness and joy are digestible. But those emotions are nowhere near as nourishing as sadness, malice, and especially anger. Pain on a small scale is good, but pain due to war, famine, and pandemics? That’s even better.
You’re born, you grow, and you spend the first third of your life learning how to live in a society that barely knows you exist.
Maybe you get married, have kids, maybe even grandkids.
Then, you die - and the pain ends.
But death is just the beginning. Because now, you get to do it all over again.
