Oh Balturin, my heart cannot stand this emptiness and the silence my audiences will bare!

Well aren't you a strange creature. You're funny. I float here in the abyss, suspending the worlds above. No one thanks me. No one knows I exist.

What makes you so special then? Let me tell you something, little man. We exist and we soon do not exist. Faces are carved in stone and reduced to sand.

Books are written and the words are rewritten in a new way. Men and women become ideas and are forever uncelebrated in their long due passings.

Your words are meaningless, your art is worthless, your ideals are empty and your soul has nothing. You are nothing.

So...little man... what is it going to be? Are you going to make yourself exist or will you let others choose for you?

Will you dabble away and cry that no one is paying attention? Will your heart bare weight that no one cares?

No one cares. I do not care. You must care. It does not matter if you believe or not. That is the only way you can exist.

An interesting take on the old "If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?".
I once posed this argument to my mother:
"I am a person, I exist, I know this of myself , and I know various properties of myself to confirm this. The society in which I live knows I exist, they know various properties about me to confirm this. So then, should these properties not match up, am I two different people, occupying the same position in space and time? My perception of my self is no less distorted than theirs, as I can only see my existence from one reference point, my own. So I can no more confirm something about myself, than anyone else can. And further more, since there is a personal 'me', and a societal 'me', which one came first, given that others knew me before I could rightfully say I knew myself?"
She simply told me, that she liked my questions.

And yet that question does indeed propose many thought provoking notes within it. One might conclude it for the time being, a grey area that presses further on into the existential pondering. Our views and perceptions are subjective by our moral standards, our boundaries and personal attributing so that not a soul including our own selves may fully understand the quality or state of that existence. We know as much we believe ourselves to know. Is that existence? To ourselves it may feel that way yet there is no definitive to many things. A spice, yes you do provide a spice of wondering and I would thank yourself for such.
