What I am interpreting in your comments is that we are all participating in something, and we should just climb on board and cope. That certainly is the reality in one perspective. However, for me, there is something else that is going on. And people are really good at doing this.
Human beings are really good creating reality.
That creative aspect of us is in our nature. We create incredible myths about what we think is real, then proceed to carry forward as though it was. And in doing so, we create reality. For a while. We, as human beings, use symbols to do much of this creative activity.
