REALITY

Daily writing prompt
What’s a moment that made you question reality?
View all responses

Finally found the new prompts provided on WordPress. Interesting ones and not the old, recycled ones.

The prompt is deeply philosophical. Most of Hindu scriptures teach the life we are living is just “one” of many and that this is not permanent. Have I had any kind of “realization” about it? Nope! I have not. I know by theory the body undergoes changes and one day we day in theory. But my brain has yet to put it into action.

If I start thinking nothing in this world is real, then I may not have the inclination to live and perform my duties. I do feel this life is worth living to the fullest. Yes, when the time comes, I understand I do need to leave this world, and this life is not permanent.

The world does have good and bad. I just need to take them as they come.

To answer the prompt, I still have not had the moment to question reality.

Last year this time, Mammoth cave national park!

    Sometimes honesty is a deeper realization than pretending to have all the answers. ✨ Loved how real and grounded this reflection felt. 🤍

    I really appreciated the honesty and groundedness in this reflection. Instead of trying to force a dramatic or mystical answer to such a philosophical prompt, you approached it with quiet sincerity — and that made it far more meaningful.

    I really appreciate your honesty here Ganga. So many people claim grand spiritual awakenings or dramatic shifts in perception, but your reflection feels grounded and real. You’ve hit on something essential: knowing something intellectually is very different from living it. And maybe that’s okay.

    There’s a quiet wisdom in choosing to live this life fully—duties, joys, struggles, and all—without needing to dissolve it all into illusion. The philosophy of “nothing is real” can become an escape from responsibility if taken too literally. You’re right: the world has good and bad, and part of being human is showing up for both.

    Not having a “moment of questioning reality” isn’t a failure. Perhaps the real realization is subtler—not a thunderbolt, but a gentle acceptance that impermanence and presence can coexist. You’re already doing the work just by reflecting like this.

    Thanks for sharing so sincerely. It made me pause and think.
