Where are you?

Today I had to deal with things that were not my wrong doing, but my responsibility as a citizen to do.
Some might question what I did. Why did I deal with things? Why did I even bother getting involved? I was involved, maybe not as an active member, but as a bystander. It affected me even though it was not directed at me. It also affected many others who were also bystanders. When something happens what is your role? Are you a victim? A bystander? A perpetrator? Are you present at the situation? Body and mind? If you are not there mentally then where are you? Can you say you were actually part of the situation if you were not mentally there? How can you mentally not be in the location your body is? Is the body that we "live in" actually just an avatar? Do we control ourselves like video games?
If we cannot "multitask" can we really be in two places at once? Is it all to do with how we perceive our thoughts? Is this a reality or is this just fantasy? Is fantasy a better place to perceive us in? If it is why are we not all in our fantasy worlds? Would that stop war and hatred? Is our world actually being polluted? Or is it our minds telling us that we are doing something wrong by living in a fantasy world? Is diseases and death just a way of coming back to reality in another "world"? Is the light people talk about when they are about to die, an actual light of the "real world"? Are the people that we interact with computer generated? Are they other avatars stuck in the same fantasy as us? Are we stuck? Or do we choose to be here? Are the senses we encounter real? Are emotions real? Is anything real or is it all just computer generated?


 
Is it real?
