some people treat life/death as a game, others treat it as a very serious matter, some even dont belive in it at all, I find myself thinking of life as a study of connections and collective memory of the world as a whole, not just our human memories, the earth itself remembers aswell, by establishing connections on even a base level we define our existance, I think that wether your exist or not is not by saying that "I am me", or self recognition, but rather others remebering you. We know that certain people existed in history, not because we met them, or they said that they existed, but that they were remembered either through famous acts or infamous acts, some are remembered for no particular reason at all. If you were to spend your entire life alone, with no traces of your passage in this collective existance then there is little to differentiate you from imagination or a made up thought. I do not claim to know what im talking about, infact i think that i think too much.
