Questioning Reality: Reflections from Within

Is reality simply another reflection, or is reflection another form of reality? This dilemma is more complex than it initially appears. Could the world around us be an illusion created by the reflection of reality? I tend to doubt, question, and investigate everything that surrounds me.
What if we live in a flawlessly crafted “video game” with such precise graphics and textures that when glitches appear, they become difficult to explain—and those who try to share these observations are dismissed as irrational? What if everything we perceive is just an illusion? How would you respond to such a revelation?
What if we were implanted with an imperceptible chip at birth that controls us without our knowledge? Though it sounds far-fetched, have you ever wondered what it might be like to live in an artificial world?
Sometimes, I feel trapped within myself or by my environment. No matter where we live, we often sense something is off—perhaps because these unsettling questions are ever-present. Who creates our thoughts? Is it possible that our brains are remotely controlled?
These strange thoughts frequently cross my mind. At times, I see myself as a programmed entity, reacting to circumstances and situations in predictable patterns that lead to the same outcomes—like a line of code being executed. These questions arise not from madness, but from a natural curiosity and desire to understand why.
