Question: What can you prove your existence!?
We cannot prove we are existing can we!?
if you can explain to me what proves you are existing then i'll do anything for you as a favour
is it from our experience of what we learn't!. but how can you prove what we learn is real!? learning involves the 2 sense altogether seeing, hearing!. but how is this sense real how do you know what we are in!. Can we just be "things" if you say its the emotion that proves you exist then what is emotion, where does it come from!. where do we know whats right or wrong!. Everything relates to when we are youngester!. from imitation of our parent's, peer's and well repected people!. But Time is also unprovable!. the books we have, the knowledge we know!. everything is created by something what is it!. where do we achieve this kind of power!. the freewill!. We are nothing if you clearly think about what i said you will understand!.
there is no art more beutiful and diverse than the art of death!.
i do not mean to tell you all to suicide i just want you to think!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One needs to live in balance!. Denying things is extreme!. Believing in everything without examining it in the first place is also another extreme!. Both of these two extremes will lead to misery in life!. Prove it for yourself!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Ok, do this!.!.!.!. go to the mall!. find a real busy area, you know lots of people!. Strip down to your boxers and dance around singing "I Will Always Love You"!. (Whitney's version, not Dolly's)!. If you exist, then you will be arrested!. If not, well there you go!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very interesting indeed!.
Young man, you seem to be very well versed about death than even the existence of your self!But how come you know the art of death,have you only seen and heard!?,what makes you feel that its the only beautiful art!?Is it the only art that obeys the two senses you said above to prove its existence!?
By the way dear, my learning is more from reading and seeing , hearing!.I dont have to see but i can imagin and use the power of my imagination combined with the knowledge i already have to accept or reject!.
Anyway, my opinion is;
One, both of us can tell that History can not just fall from no where( i also understand that it can be manipulated or fabricated) but seen/observed and written/recorded by some one who did witness!.And this is when the manipulation comes in to make the story more interesting!.But the fact remains some one did witness something!.Even some evidence exists till to date!.
The fact am a live is enough to prove that i exist!.
My dear, i hope you are not watching a lot of this fiction movies!.They might be prohibiting you from differentiating fiction from the truth!.
Thanks for askingWww@QuestionHome@Com
When I look at this matter, I have to conclude for myself that René Decartes (the brilliant French philosopher) was quite right when he said: ''Cogito ergo sum'', which means ''I think and therefore I am''!.
There is almost nothing that we can be absolutely sure of!. The fact that we can touch substances, does not garantuee their existence, because it might just as well be an illusion of our thoughts!.
Therefore the only thing we can be sure of, is that we think, that we doubt and question!. So the existence of a (non-eternal) transcendental human mind is the only thing we can be sure of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
You see me!. I see me!. I see you!. You see you!. The odds that my imagination can come up with a vision of you identical to the way you view you is astronomical!.
You and I can not be a figment of each other's imagination otherwise our description of one another and ourselves wouldn't be identical!. This is, of course if we are talking about seeing each other in "person"!. Even if we are both hallucinating, again we wouldn't be having the same identical visions as the other!. If we were to stand in front of the other and each hold a mirror to view our own reflection while the other described what we were seeing, it would be the same!. So on some level you exist exactly as I see you and vice versa!.
I have always wondered about knowledge!. Is knowledge nothing more than regurgitated hearsay!? We read and study books written by others and take it as fact on face value!. Who is to say what they are writing is exactly as they experienced!? We base our opinions and beliefs by what we have learned from our family, friends, peers and some personal experience!. But just as that game where you whisper something into someones ear and have them whisper to the person beside them what they heard you say and so on and so on, by the end the last person usually ends up saying something completely different than what was initially said!. Who is to say all knowledge isn't the same way!? How do we know what we learn is actual fact!?
How do we know that close call we had was actually our death!? How do we know we haven't left our previous existence only to be living in a parallel state with others who have passed on!? Which "dimension" is actual true life!? How do you know you are not a ghost!? How do you know you are not in a coma and all of this is a figment of your imagination!? Again, if you and I were to meet in any of these circumstances, the chances you and I view ourselves the same as the other kind of proves our existence to the other and ourselves!.
