The real world is mindless and irrational. It's actually a lot like the reality show Big Brother, only with a longer time line. We the people are the competitors, and our "Big Brother" is the bureaucracy, government, who gets to mindlessly rule us without questioning. If you break their rules you're out of the game.

In the real world there is no movie-like beauty in pain, despair and death. Everything is ugly, dull and grey. The world doesn't care about you. Death and pain doesn't matter, it doesn't stop the world. There will be no great sorrow for the loss of one insignificant life. You are all alone, there will be no-one to save you. There's no heroes in the real world, no great courage, nothing especially good to hold on to. Sometimes there just isn't any hope.

In the real world there is no happy endings, no living "happily ever after". At best you can learn to endure the real world, but what if that's just not enough? Well, too bad then. In the real world there's nothing more that can be done.

There is no great enemy we could all fight against together. The evil won't be destroyed in the end. Infact, there IS no endings in the real world. Bad things will never stop happening.

So what is the point? WHY am I here? What am I holding on to?
