Long time no type ;)
Recently finished Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, third book in The Hunger Games Triology - as quite a few of you will already know, or will at some point realise the title of this post comes from that book. I will do a post of my thoughts on the book on my own blog when I know the people who are reading it have finished. Very unexpected is all I will say. ;)
Anyway.
Real, or not Real?
How do you know certain things you see are real? Maybe it's all one massive dream. Or maybe it is real. But you can't always touch and hold something that is real because feelings or emotions can still be real, yet you can never touch them or hold them. So where does the barrier of real and not real start and end?
I don't know, and probably never will.
Confusing stufff.

I wan't to read Mockingjay dammit!-.- I hope it doesn't turn out that the whole hunger games thing is all one big simulated dream and that everyone lives, because that would kinda suck...
ReplyDelete"I have convinced myself that there is nothing in the world — no sky, no earth, no minds, no bodies. Doesn’t it follow that I don’t exist? No, surely I must exist if it’s me who is convinced of something. But there is a deceiver, supremely powerful and cunning whose aim is to see that I am always deceived. But surely I exist, if I am deceived. Let him deceive me all he can, he will never make it the case that I am nothing while I think that I am something. Thus having fully weighed every consideration, I must finally conclude that the statement “I am, I exist” must be true whenever I state it or mentally consider it."
-Rene Descartes
Don't worry that doesn't happen.
