i experience the illusion of a life
a book is a virtual reality experience that remains frozen until it is picked up and the reality goes at the pace of the reading. the past 10 days of my life have gone by and while i was experiencing them they seemed to happen in "real time", but looking back on it how can i be sure that it wasn't just a sped up memory that was fed into my brain, like a book or a movie, that my brain experienced outside of a real reality? the moments seem real while we are in them, but when they pass we can no longer be sure because we are not in them any more and have fading and virtual records of them.
