Do you really exist ?
Is existence a presence, or the acknowledgement of yourself?
Like the germs on the top of a surface of, you are. To a "how are you?" You respond; "I am".
But what are you?

•••

Are you the presence in an existence, or an existence in the pretense of the presence of life ?
At the end of the night,
the end of your journey,
will you be,
or will you have been?

We are living.
Not existing.
To a "how are you?"
We think; "how are we?"
But we are not.
We live. Like the essence of the air,
we exist,
but we don't exist until we are acknowledged,
until we are seen.
Does this make us merely a presence?



;
Will you stop existing after we say our farewells?

After no longer being present to me.

or will I?

Sadly, acknowledgement of self is unnecessary to exist, as I have witnessed firsthand with my aunt's Alzheimer's.

I enjoy the concept of separate reality-bubbles, in which only the observer and the bubble of her perception exist, but that area of philosophy is too solipsistic for my liking. It's hard to think of everything outside your reality-bubble as being subject to Schrodinger's Cat uncertainties, so you have to have faith that your preferred result will be given to you, that the street down the block that you can't directly perceive at this moment does exist independently of your reality-bubble.

As for us, we are the empty presence encompassed in life by a dual nature, making us triple-formed in essence.

I mean to be acknowledged by others, is to exist. Not to acknowledge yourself.
The reality we perceive as real is only a fraction of what others perceive. In that sense, we all do live within other realities.

But has that street really existed before you not knowing it's presence ? To your reality, no.

I just met a girl at work a week ago, she was all smiles and it was fun getting to know her. We literally have been working together for over 6 months and I only say her that day. I thought to myself: "it's funny that she's been here all this time, but she only truly were a part of my life once I met her" which is kind of why I wrote this. Things don't really exist to you until you acknowledge their presence.

You can't possibly disagree either. How you see reality is not how I presented it, but its not wrong .

That's right, so then where did you get the assumption that I disagreed?
