Author's Note: This is my response to The Truman Show. I have three separate topics that I talk about in this response, one being that we all question reality, another is that lying is always lying no matter the reason and the last one is that peace is fake. In the last paragraph I probably sound like an weirdo person but that's okay. Also, I don't really know what I think about this post.
Truman is a man who is doesn't know what to believe in. He's stuck in a world where nothing is real, where he has to real friends, no real love. The people in his world are all actors, playing roles to satisfy every aspect of Truman's life. In reality, we all have moments where we think the same thoughts as Truman does. We look around us and think what if none of this is real? What if there is someone out there controlling everyone? These are impossible questions that will probably never be answered but they are a part of our lives. We have to question reality to know it’s real.
Lying gets many people by in life whether it be lying for protection, lying to yourself or lying to get ahead; it's lying all the same. Truman was lied to for "protection" but the creator of the show never thought that Truman would ever find out but every lie is found out eventually. The creator never thought that the way Truman was living was not life. Life is spontaneous, not repetitive and that's what makes life worth living because if we knew what was going to happen tomorrow or ten years from now then what's the point of living it in the first place.
This is a final post for the second day
Some that upset me is that everyone seems to want peace but it's clearly impossible. There is no such thing as peace, or that's what I believe in at least, it's so irrational that it's hard to believe. Peace is nothing; if we had peace than we would have nothing. There would then be no real opinions and people couldn't think for themselves. Truman has grown up in that type of world where there are no arguments and there aren't any disagreements and we all know how well that turned out which proves my point that a world at peace is a world of insane people.
