Existence Rant for the Masses-Pico Jones

Afternoon All,

Existence (in general) is taken for granted. Not on purpose, mind you, but accidentally just because we felt like it. I'm here, you're here, we're all here (at least until we're not). And yet, you're not here. You're not here because I'm writing this at work, and pretty sure I can't see you. Then again, just because I can't see you doesn't mean you're not here, does it? I mean, we might be in different rooms or something. Or, if you prefer, I could expound on the thought process concerning the fact that we're always with the people we meet, know, love etc. In which case you're here (but you're not because you're there) and I'm there (but I'm not because I'm here) and along with that, the other six billion people on the planet are there too...or are they here? Not only are they with us, but they most likely visit everyone else too, in which case they're probably so fragmented that it's debatable as to whether or not they actually do exist. And for that matter, we're also fragmented to that extent (based on this theory) which leads me to believe that we aren't here either. This flows directly into an ominous pair of questions. What if none of us are here at all, and we're merely fragments of some other higher beings imagination? Or, if you prefer, what if life as we know it is this higher beings dreams; and that when this being wakes up we all disappear? Now, since we're all merely fragments of the twisted imagination of this being (and we all go poof when he wakes up) it causes me to wonder if he included himself in his dreams. Most people do, so ordinarily it wouldn't be all that odd, but in this case it is. Allow me to explain, You see, if he included himself in his dreams then is technically a figment of his own imagination. Does he disappear when he wakes up? If he does, did he exist in the first place? Is he a murderer, or was it just a mass suicide (as we are all figments of his imagination)? I suppose that one comes down to whether or not we're considered his "multiple personalities" or not. If someone with multiple personality disorder threatens suicide, is it a hostage situation? One final question before I go...If I'm not here, then who wrote this? Are you really reading it? Does it really exist? Oops, that was three questions. Oh well, non of us are here to do anything about it.
