4) Proposition: Life is a Mere Illusion

Assalammualaikum wbt

          I have to disagree with the statement therefore I have to state 2 counter arguments for the proposition. First, if you refer to Albert Einstein quote which is "reality is a merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one" it could make sense. This quote speaks to the illusion of free will, that we think we are agents and doers, where actually the universe is the doer. Einstein said "limited causation is no causation at all".  This is can also be stated as an expansion of cause and effect from a subjective subset to an objective whole.  All happenings depend on all other prior happenings in an unbroken chain of natural law. Einstein was able to look from the top down (god's eye view) not just the bottom up (human eye view).  "To make an apple pie, first you must invent a universe." However, Einstein might have more properly have said "Before the universe can create an apple pie, first it must invent you". (Ashly, 2014) which I believe that Einstein have his own theory about life but then he's a scientist. He done research for almost all of the stuff. Life is a gift. Of course everyone was born with talent but not all of us know how that talent work. Plus, what if that talent is a bad talent like a person really good in robbing or killing somebody? Is that what  we want to use as a steeping stone for a showcase? We want something good to show off to people because that what people want to see. The best version of ourselves.

          According to enotes.com, the idea that "all the world's a stage" was already clichéd when Shakespeare wrote As You Like It. So Jaques is intended to sound at least a little pretentious in this quote. Jaques (pronounced "jay-keys" or "jay-kweez") is the resident sourpuss in the Forest of Arden, home to political exiles, banished lovers, and simple shepherds. Picking up on another character's stray suggestion that the world is a "wide and universal theater," Jaques deploys the theatrical metaphor for his famous speech on the Seven Ages of Man. The first of these ages, according to Jaques, is infancy (when the babe is found "Mewling [sobbing] and puking in his nurse's arms"), and the last is "second childishness and mere oblivion" (complete senility). His glum epigrams make up a "set speech"; Shakespeare meant them to sound practiced, like a bit of oratory polished off and hauled out on the appropriate (or inappropriate) occasion. Of course if you refers to William Shakespeare, he said the world is a stage because he was seeing life as his play. What do you expect a writer, poet and an author will say about life? All show on stage needs scripts but life didn't. That is why the world is not a stage. Life doesn't have scripts. It's all written by Him. Of course we choose the choice but still anything choice that chosen by us is all decided by Him. I guess all the religion believe that. Plus, all show need storyline and storyboard which I believe all of us have plan the future but did you know how it is end? We all know how a show gonna end but not life. We didn't know how it will end or when or where. It's all His secret. It's all about being believing in our own religion.
