The Joke

What if your life was a hoax, that every single moment of it was a trick of the mind? On that last breath maybe, you get a slight inkling, you feel something is not quite right, not realistic. Your past rolls up like a carpet, the future, is an unborn child laughing at you. What to do? You are dead already. Some Almighty Something shows up, reveals to you that, what you thought was a life, was really just a blink of an infinite eye. You begin to realize, but not right away, that time does not exist now. What? Yes, no time. You ask that big; really big, awesome Something’ – “For God’s sake why?” It says – “Well why not, can you think of anything better to do?” Eventually, you get it.
