Illusions

5 minutes ago, I was lying in my bed, unable to fall asleep, mostly because I was worrying over stuff related to my business. As I tried to calm myself down, a revelation struck me:

It's all a game.

Society today constists to a tremendous percentage of intangliables, ergo, Illusions. Originally, every dollar was had to have it's equal amount of gold availiable for exchange at any time, but that is no longer the case. The value of money nowadays is nothing more than a collective illusion. Stocks are an illusion. The concept of the future is an illusion. Copyright is an illusion. Our view of time is an illusion. Collective illusions that we accept because it's convinient, so that we can continue to play the game of modern society that we enjoy so much.

But in the end, it's just a game that we choose to play. Some people take it very seriously, and some take it less seriously. Some are more concious about their choice to play it, and some are less concious about it. I myself like the idea of looking upon business and career as a game. It really lessens pressure and worry, plus I like playing games.

My cat doesn't play our game. She spends her time chilling out most of the time. And eating. And Cuddling. And playing with other cats. She spends her time in reality. She does not care for the illusions that I enjoy so much.

Don't get too caught up in the illusions. The game is great. I enjoy it very much. However, remember what is actually real: Spending time with friends. Watching the sun go down. Breathing fresh air. Taking a warm bath. Having a good cup of coffee. Kissing. Laughing. Cuddling with your cat.
