If it was revealed that your whole life was a “Truman Show”, how much did you question the reality to which you were presented?

“As a kid, I used to experience my life as Truman Show – esq.  Why?  Because I was in disbelief of how fortunate my circumstances were.  I was not a victim, but the benefactor of seemingly undeserved good fortune.  As I’ve grown up, I’ve grown to feel more and more like a victim.  Now, I feel like a slave to circumstance, a prisoner to my own mind, an a puppet to an unknown force.”

“As did Truman Burbank in the movie, I believe mankind is motivated to seek truth on an instinctual level. Sure, we are sheeps to some extent, but we also ask questions – and are the only species to do so. We have intuition – a quality that activates subconsciously, unpredictably, and powerfully. Whether we ‘want’ to escape a ‘Truman Show’ or not, the clues will present themselves and we will follow our innate curiosity towards truth.”

“Honestly, hardly at all. Sure, I’ve asked the big questions. I’ve done a bit of exploring. I’ve unshackled myself from some of the most obvious constraints of modern western socialized life. However, when I think about it, I have never come close to REALLY perceiving an escape route – To REALLY questioning this reality as it’s been presented. This whole existence feels distant and unfamiliar. As A.E. Housman said: ‘I, a stranger and afraid, in a world I never made’ – encapsulates this experience best.”
