Suspended animation

              Dollcee said, I am so grateful that my perception is not my reality.

              Dos turned towards Dollcee with his normal vague expression; however, he also appeared to be, sort of, stunned.

              After sometime, he asked, what did you say Dollcee?

              Dollcee replied, I am glad you asked me that Dos and I am more than happy to expand on my initial statement.

              Dollcee continued, when you are prepared to accept that most of our existence is about our perception of everything; then, it is important to be able to quickly adapt to what is really taking place around you, in order to survive.

              If reality is definite, then, not only would existence be totally boring, but it would probably be impossible to avoid any pending doom.

              Dos said, you are going to have to expand on your reasoning Dollcee as I have not caught up with your thinking on this matter.

              Dollcee said, well Dos, with a cheery manner, I suspect that citizens are encouraged by marketing algorithms to accept definite ideas about many things that are really very limited in outlook. This is a sort of training regime which is very restrictive. 
              The narrow focus restricts citizens from practicing a much broader approach and this manifests itself as a lack of tolerance. A bit like the constant use of anti-biotics, eventually causing a severe drop in tolerance.

              Dos let out a long breath and without a word, maintained his vague appearance. Mainly because Dollcee had totally bamboozled him.

              Padoke had not stirred.
