This is a topic that I assume everyone has at least give some thought to over the time they've lived on this planet, so I though, "Why not make a thread?" So here we are.
It's difficult to think about, and has many variations. This could all simply be a waking dream, you might be in a coma, or perhaps all of your experiences have been made for the entertainment others like in the Truman Show. Honestly, the only limitation is your imagination.
So as the title asks, what would you do if everything, all your happiness and troubles and love were simply constructs created by your mind or others? Would you acts as if nothing had ever happened? Maybe find yourself unable of coping with it all? Would you perhaps even be happy that it was all a lie?
The reason I ask is because I was reading earlier, and a single line stuck out the me. It said [quote]"It would've been nice if everything were just a dream."[/quote] which got me. I don't consider myself to be a happy person, and it just made me think over my life and actions and see how much I've messed up or did right.
It just made me think of what my life will be looked on as when I die.
So, edginess aside, what do you think?
-
Nothing continue on with life
-
I would be slightly surprised, but I would immediately try to find out what happened, what has been happening, and learn about the real world. I'm not the type to get all emotional or whatever else someone might experience as a result.
-
I say "we'll shit What do I do now?"
-
So if I were actually in a coma, and all this is a dream...if I have sex with someone, does that mean I'm [i]technically[/i] masturbating?
-
Well if it were a Truman show and I knew I'd make it better for mabye months then give it a twist and turn on the actors and be like Gorman but not kill anyone just steal shit ad break stuff
-
I wouldn't care as I set aside everything to discover the truth.
-
Depends what the world's like.
-
I would choose the blue pill.
-
I am an experiment and you are all variables.
-
Nothing? If everything was some sim or something, it still doesn't matter, I still have to work, eat and all that stuff.
-
What do you mean? If my life was all fake?
-
I'd be completely amazed that anything could make me feel all those things.
-
I don't know. I've grown to have strong ties to this life. I don't think anyone can truly say they know how they would react until they've gone through that situation.
-
Would feel pretty bad
-
I would be more interest in knowing how this "world" i woke up is think about it there's probably no coca cola video games could have been way less popular (no master chief,no bungie no banjokazooie and different stuff like that
-
Given that I wouldn't go insane or have a panic attack, I'd probably be angry and depressed.
