The Perfect Torture Tool

It's only perfect because I think so. Because I wrote so. Because it is possibly so.

I've been wondering for weeks, what would actually happen if one day, I discover myself living in a make-up world of my own. That the days I've been living all these while were merely "days", or hallucinations. That someone greater than a physical being is in control of my thoughts, emotions, actions, and my perceived "reality". Or on a more exaggerated scale, that I've been captured by some evil scientist who's using me as a protocol for his psychological experiments.

How would you feel if it really happened to you? That at the click of a button, or the snap of the finger, the person in control can just send your world crashing down. In a matter of seconds mind you. So what's the key point here? Imagine the utility of such an invention as a torture tool. How much fear it can instill in the victim, how crazy the victim can become.

This just links to the notion that most of the times, crazy people, or maybe say people who aren't psychologically sane, seriously, I mean seriously, have an issue with seeing a shrink. I mean to me, its no big deal. But to them, it seems like it's more than just a deal. Like seeing a shrink would mean the demise of their very existence. But again if you're crazy, in embroiled in this whole psychological torture and you won't really give more than half a damn to your existence. So then again, what's the key point here then? Well basically, my personal conclusion lies in 'Knowledge'. Knowledge that you're crazy. That's what scares then most. That's what scares me most too. And linking back to the previous discussion of the perfect torture tool, the key point is Knowledge of the fact that you're not in control. That somebody else is in control. That all these while, you've been living in vain. All days you've passed, all the things you've done, all the chicks you've shagged, all the girlfriends you've dumped. All are but illusionary.

Hey, maybe that's reality, you know. I mean for all you know, the big one up there is playing puppeteer when we're asleep, when we're most vulnerable, when we're not in control...
