Is how strangly real in an unreal way its is. Just think about your here living viewing things on a daily basis thats suppose to be so normal but really its only normal cause your used to it open your senses and just think bout what/who you are?

Yeah, because as we age from birth we are fed explanations from earlier generations about life, and what is expected of us. Be it religious, professional or social, but the fact that we are here at all is amazing, and the quality of being an observer in this universe is sometimes completely ignored. I spend a huge amount of time contemplating this surreality, and asking myself why here ? why now? why is the universe like this ? if there is a 'god', what is my position in relation to it ? We have no choice but to be aware of our existence, it is so puzzling, and yet generation after generation just conform to societies expectations of what we are here for.

I know Im gonna make sure to raise my kids on free learning and observing and I am what everyone expects me to be because they dont know how philosophical I am. Free thought is god in my mind if you can think freely without controls from religion media society etc you can truly see what life is and how strange it truly is

It is strange to me because the only thing I can compare it to is non-existence, and when compared to this, life is wondrous.

But thats the strange thing you cant compare it to non existance cause there is no such thing as non existance or nothing in general which makes this life even more surreal and strange

From one of my favorite songs...
...can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all.
Hits the nail on the head. It's not necessarily the thing you're being that is boggling, it's being in general that is the mind fuck. And compared to what? Not being? Well that just raises even further questions!

Existence is very strange. Just the idea of transiet beings sometimes baffles me, even though that is all we have ever been. I think it is important for people to stop every once and a while, not worrying about their meaningless problems or joys, and just sit back and wonder what the fuck all this is, not thinking about anybody elses opinion or beliefs. Just lay under the stars for a night and contemplate existence.

Sometimes the sky makes this floor I'm standing on so unreal. Yeah, seeing it for what it is in a purely sensical (via senses) way does make it a very strange thing indeed...
