It feels that as children we recognize that it's all play, and are told by the adults that it is otherwise. Then, some of us get so involved in the game that we think it is reality, that it is not a man-made system with man-made rules that purposely benefit a certain group over others. When people begin to realize that it is all play, that it is a big, pointless game so a few can live in absolute luxury and a vast majority toil until their one life is over, we are told to ignore the truth.
All of the empires, the nations, the power is illusion. The king has no clothes, we're primates on a small planet orbiting a small sun in a universe where nothing outside of paradigm changes will ultimately matter. We're dancing a dance we know the music is soon to end hoping for an encore.
