It's a funny sort of Understanding when One postulates an assertion based wholly upon interpretation and then proceeds to refuse to allow the reply of the Subject before forming subjective conclusions.
So what if you're being facetious? I can take a joke; and if I'm the subject of the joke, at least I'll get the context, if it is, in fact, a valid hyperbole to draw.
If, as you claim, "Reality doesn't cease to exist just because one choses to ignore it," then why, I must inquire, would you send that note and then not allow a reply?
I see a Jungian pattern here!
If you take all of what you see to heart so readily, then I fear for your sanity; I anticipate your exclusivity.
All I do in this particular medium is put ideas out there, hence the title "Philosomancer;" as I have said before (not that anyone cares to investigate) I don't necessarily subscribe to the notions I consider and write down, they simply provide a map of where I am, of where I've been, and, perhaps, in Time, a notion of where I'm going; a truly powerful piece of information to have.
I have three messages to which I cannot reply because the sender disallowed communication 'twixt themselves and me. Pity. I love earnest discussion. Seems that sets me apart rather than unifies me with others. Curiouser and curiouser! Muse: http://hellopoetry.com/david-barr/
