Are our senses real? That is if we are not being decieved by a higher power, if that exists. Is love real? What's real? Why is life worth living?

The truth is always relative.
Believe in what you want.

Truth is a human construction. Before humans existed, life on this planet got along just fine. now that we are here all of the sudden we wonder about "truth"!. It's a product of our brains.
If our senses are not real and we are begin deceived, we have absolutely no way of ever knowing it, so the question is moot. How would it change your life in any tiny little way if it were not real? You still feel pain and emotions.
Love is the chemical response in your brain to a particular stimulus, it's as real as any other emotion.
Why is life worth living? Maybe it isn't to some people. Only you can figure that out for yourself. Life has no intrinsic meaning at all. If all humans and even all life were wiped out tomorrow, the earth would still spin around the sun for the next 3 billion years.

the only answer that I have to all of those questions is that human consciousness depends on the idea that observation is the definition of existence, on the part of the observer, and the observer. Thus, the reason for human existence and life is to be the cause of existence. This negates the whole being deceived by a higher power, as, with the exception of poor interpretations, no higher powers exist thus far. Love is real, insofar as it is observed. Whats real is all that is not out of reach of the human consciousness. In so far as to whether or not life is worth living is dependent on the perception of the value of being the very cause of existence.

Am I typing right now? Of course I am!
Anything I have effort in is real. The exterior and interior are bonded by our perception of what we believe is true. The universe actually rests in our belief of what is real. The end of days and destruction only come when our beliefs become unbeliefs. We are but a piece in this giant puzzle.

Dont think about stuff like this. Its a good way to pass the time if your bored, but if you are seriously trying to find this out and spend more than 15 minutes thinking about it, find a hobby. So in short, just accept things as they are and continue to live this life, or illusion of it, in a way that gives you true happiness.

if love and all those other feelings fake, then i wouldn't want to know, love for example is such a beautiful feeling that i wouldn't want to know that its the cause of such and such hormone and stuff like that, we are in a real place conscious of what we're doing, and i think life is worth living because u have to make the best of it, whether ur born the son or daughter of bill gates or born in the middle of the iraq war in iraq :)

Does it matter?
What would you change if you found out the truth?
Like Gandalf says, all we can do is make the best use of the time we have.

The only truth that you can prove is Descartes axiom Cogito Ergo Sum , I think therefore I am. Everthing else could be illusion.

Consciousness; whether everything else we experience is pure deception or not, the awareness that is deceived cannot be doubted. That is truth.

I would say the only thing that is real is change. If you feel this, and flow with it, you will be amazed at what you can do.
