On this cloudy foggy Saturday I got up and wondered if I had. Am I here? Do I exist? Maybe that sordid image in the mirror is just someone else’s bad dream…

I’m holding myself hostage here…Prove I exist or I get it in the existence. I want a suitcase full of cold hard logic by the treestump in the park at 2:00. Come alone. Bring no doubts or contradictions.

Or am I holding myself hostage? If I don’t exist, then how can I?
That’s something for one of you existing people to ponder. Me, maybe I’m slowly fading away, if I ever existed at all.
 
If you doubt your existence, who or what is doubting it?!
 
This is suspicious.

Maybe someone else is doubting my existence…
 
I dont know that anything exists, but im recieving information and i react to that information. I think we can say that information and reactors exists; if im recieving information then i must exist, otherwise…well, i will just go insain considering that my awarness of self is an illusion of self… As for me, i could just be a glitch:( 😦 😦 😦 😦 .

The dreamer thats thats dreaming the dream.

Imagine waking up one day, only to realise that you have awoken on a deep space research vessal going dangerously towards a black hole; and the life you thought you had was just a fantasy. How would you feel about that Ani lbi?

Doesn’t everyone wish that they didn’t exist when they first see themselves in the morning 😃 ??

GEEZZ!! I’d hate to think that right now I’m not typing to nobody.😉

I would instantly look around for someone to blame. I mean imagine allowing me to be on a ship plunging into a black hole!
:mad:
After finding someone to blame, I would phone for pizza. 🙂

How do you know that that ‘someone’ is not you?

A lot of people seem to be slackers when it comes to the whole problem of accepting their own existence. They take the easy road, unquestioning. Others have a high standard of proof.

We must uphold high standards of proof, no? At least those who exist should.

I’m glad you’re talking about other folks and not me. In any case, I am invoking the Motto.

Whew. I was afraid you were going to get on my case about nonexistent people slinging around moral and ethical imperatives.
That is, I would if I existed, which still hasn’t been solved.
 
Somebody here has waaaaaayyyyy too much idle time on their hands. 🤷
 
Here’s the plan. Wake up as early as you can tomorrow morning drive your nonexistent behind down to the Home Depot and buy the biggest framing hammer you can; then drive home and lay your sorry nonexistent thumb on your kitchen counter…then take your dreamworld hammer and as hard as you can smash your nonexistant thumb with it…Let me know if you still think you are just in some kind of dreamworld!

I’m going to side with Socrates and answer: I don’t know the answers you seek. To thine own self be true.

You just had 17 replies to your initial question. If you didn’t exist, no one would have read anything (since you wouldn’t exist to write it) and you would have gone back to your original post and found it blank. If that happens then I’d begin to worry.

Sometimes I feel that I could all of a sudden disappear and

Heres the solution Truthy; do what you don’t want to do, or conversely, don’t do what you want to do.
If you are just someone else dream then that someone won’t act counterintuitively and neither will they deliberatly act against their own interests.
Enjoy.
