House M.D.

The other day I was watching House M.D. on USA. In the episode House got shot and was rushed to the emergency room. When he woke up from surgery he started having hallucinations. He was on another patient case, and he continued working on it. His colleagues never questioned his judgment and never argued with him although they knew he was having hallucinations and memory problems. When he talked in riddles his colleagues immediately understood what he was talking about. In the end, the whole episode was a dream/hallucination even though it seemed so real. It was so realistic that House was working on a case and going about his normal job of irritating Cuddy and Wilson. When he woke up he was still on the way to the emergency room.

For hours afterward I thought about that episode. It made me think about how life is like a dream. We don't stay here forever, and so we don't need to store up material things and worry about the trivial things. One day we are going to wake up, and for me, I know I am going to be in heaven, a much better place than I can even dream about now.
