Lately I've been questioning some elements of reality. Is absolutely everything some sort of test? Are my 5 senses some sort of sensory testing equipment? Im starting to consider the possibility of every single footbal program that I've watched, every news telecast, every piece of historic evidence and scientific fact has only inserted itself into my perception and my senses(my life) in order to test me. The existence of wildlife and wildlife habitat, the beautiful moon reflected upon the ocean during the evening, is something lying to me? Am I really just meant to die in warfare? Or do I have some sort of option? Please, can someone give me logical advice. I know I sound insane, and I AM, but I am also intelligent. And I stopped smoking cigarettes, marijuana and any other drugs or dirty habbits years ago in order to pursue the martial arts. I am DEAD serious, I have a couple glasses of wine a couple times a week and thats about it. I am not an drug adict, but maybe I am to dillusion..

We are not meant to make sense out of everything that happens in our life every day. Just live each day and make the best of it.

Rene Descartes proved existence with his famous statement "Cogito Ergo Sum", meaning, "I think, therefore, I am." From there, he began to prove other events in his life because he knew he existed. Take this line of thought and expand upon it.
Psychologically, maybe you should speak to a psychologist. If you still continue to doubt reality, maybe he or she can give you more advanced tips to re-establish that connection.

delusion is more compelling than trusted reality because you maintain an option to test the result options.although because events occur at simultaneous points in time,you are forced to interpret these events in the order of importance to your trusted opinion.also in point is that once you ac hive an opinion you may have stopped learning.
