Is reality just a script? See through the noise!

Imagine this: sometimes the news we see might not be true. It could be made up or exaggerated. But even if it’s fake, people still react to it as if it’s real. They get scared, angry, or worried. And when people react strongly, it’s almost like the fake news becomes real in their minds. So even if the event didn’t happen the way it was shown, the feelings and actions it causes are real. That’s a strange and powerful idea, our minds can turn something fake into something that feels real.

Now, let’s take this idea further. What if the world around us is like a hologram, a kind of illusion or projection? Some people believe we live in a simulation, like a video game or a dream. In this kind of world, things look and feel real, but they aren’t solid or true in the way we think. If that’s true, then the news, the images we see, the sounds we hear, and even the smells we notice might not be real either. They could be part of the illusion. They might be designed to make us feel certain things or act in certain ways.

If we believe everything we see and hear, we start reacting to the illusion. We worry about things that might not be real. We fight over ideas that were planted in our minds. We become divided, some people believe one version of reality, and others believe something else. This leads to confusion, fear, and conflict. It’s like we’re all trapped in a play, reacting to scenes that aren’t even true.

But here’s the good news: if we understand that the world is like a hologram, we can stop reacting blindly. We can start asking questions. Is this news story true? Is this fear real? Do I need to worry about this? When we realize that many things are just projections, we can choose not to get pulled into them. We can stay calm, think clearly, and focus on what’s real inside us—our values, our kindness, our wisdom.

This shift in thinking is powerful. Instead of being controlled by fear and fake stories, we become free. We stop feeding the illusion with our emotions. We stop letting others decide what we should feel. We begin to see through the tricks and focus on truth. This is what some people call “enlightenment”—a clear mind, a peaceful heart, and a strong sense of what matters.

But this change can’t happen unless many people choose it. If most people keep believing everything they see and hear, the illusion stays strong. The world stays divided. People keep fighting and worrying. But if more people wake up and realize that much of what they see is hollow—just like a hologram—then things can change. We can build a better world based on truth, love, and understanding.

So the choice is ours. If we believe the illusion, we stay stuck in fear and conflict. But if we see through it, we move toward peace and wisdom. I hope people choose the second path, because the first one leads to more pain. Let’s pay attention to what’s real, not just what’s loud. Let’s think for ourselves and help others do the same. That’s how we move from confusion to clarity, from fear to freedom.
