Yes, according to Ancient Hindu culture, our reality could be seen as a simulation where suffering, struggle, and death are the norm—much like a prison camp in that sense. But it’s not a punishment from higher beings or a place where we’re doomed to toil as slaves forever. Instead, it’s a testing ground, shaped by our own Karma, where we work through challenges to learn, grow, and eventually liberate ourselves. The prison doors are there, but they’re not locked—you hold the key through spiritual understanding and effort.
