In buddhism it is said that "all forms are emptiness and emptiness is form", which refers to the illusory nature of feelings, consciousness, all things in life and the universe. Life is like a dream, so to speak.
From this, I have a thought that I cannot shake off, which is this: Even if life is a dream, it is a dream that I cannot choose to wake up from. I still have to experience joy and suffering which will continue to affect me even if I think that they are illusory. So what difference does it make if I am aware that life and existence is ultimately illusory?
thnks for the replies guys
