WE MUST NOTE, THERE IS ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE PERSON WHO WILL ASK A QUESTION WNICH WILL DRIVE THE REST OF US NUTS, SUCH AS—-BUT DO WE EXIST? OR DO WE JUST SAY WE EXIST? DOES THE PAINTER JUST GIVE US THE POWER TO SAY WE EXIST, WHEN WE REALLY DON’T? AND ALSO, DOES THE PAINTER JUST SAY HE EXISTS, WHEN HE REALLY DOES NOT? IS OUR CONCEPT OF LOGIC TOTALLY SCREWED UP?

WHEN WE ARE THE DREAM MASTER, DO THE CHARACTERS IN OUR DREAM REALLY EXIST, EVEN IF ONLY VERY BRIEFLY? IN OUR DREAM, DO THE CHARACTERS  REALLY EXIST, OR DO THEY JUST THINK THEY EXIST. AND SO— IN THE CREATIION OF THE DREAM MASTER, DO WE, THE CHARACTERS OF ITS DREAM REALLY EXIST, OR DO THEY JUST THINK THEY EXIST AS FAR AS THE DREAM MASTER IS CONCERNED?  AND WHAT THE HELL DOES “EXIST” MEAN ANYWAY?
SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!!
