Default Re: Real Life: The Full Review

That's a slight surprise, but anyway

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truman_Show

basically, and I found this is actually a symptom of one of my ailments, because of what to you seem like unlikely coincidences together with a belief that you ARE the most significant/important person (The main character if you will. Probably because of an inability to consider other people to be "worth" as much as you, after all they're NPC's) you come to believe the whole world exists only to entertain/test the "player" and that coincidences don't exist but are the people behind the scenes controlling everything. It is important I believe to promptly ignore such nonsense otherwise you end up wearing a tin foil hat, accosting newsreaders and asking what the frequency the government uses to mind control you is

Edit: and at the risk of getting carried away I find it delightful that link I gave you also leads to the Alegory of the cave. A delightful little parable to convince you that the insane really do understand reality for what it is.
