How can I tell what's real and what's not?
Everything looks the same, sounds the same,
tastes the same.
You're obviously not here.
I'm obviously not here.
Which means this is a creation of my mind,
which means I'm really just asking myself.
If I'm talking to yourself,
that's a lot of unnecessary explanation.
That requires give and take, even in my own mind.
How can I tell what's real?
That doesn't sound like something I'll ask.
if I act in the real world based on information that's not real,
the results are impossible to foresee.
But information is incapable of harm in and of itself.
Ideas are neither good nor bad but merely as useful as what we do with them.
Only actions can cause harm.
So you do nothing.
You refrain from taking any actions.
You continue to throw out
your ideas as you always would,
Would anybody care
that the world lost that wit?
You think that the only truth that matters is the truth that can be measured.
Good intentions don't count.
What's in your heart doesn't count.
Caring doesn't count.
But a man's life can be measured by how many tears are shed when he dies.
Just because you can't measure them,
just because you don't want to measure them,
doesn't mean it's not real.
And even if I'm wrong, you're still miserable.
Did you really think that your life's purpose was to sacrifice yourself and get nothing in return?
No.
You believe there's no purpose to anything.
Even the lives you save, you dismiss.
You turn the one decent thing in your life and you taint it, strip it of all meaning.
You're miserable for nothing.
