statement
I agree with the statement, "Happiness lies in the fulfillment of oneself."
And I believe that freedom is fundamental as the starting point of this journey.
I wonder how truly free we are to think, choose, and act. I question whether existence is sincere or more akin to an illusion.
What we think and do is a consequence of how and where we were raised and educated.
Are we merely actors within society?
For this reason, I see little difference between existence and simulation; for this reason, I'm drawn to masks and disguise; for this reason, I'm fascinated by fiction and the virtual, which appear more real to me than reality itself.
