the blind man asked the blind seer:
but what about death?
the seer replied:
there is a saying; "I think therefore I am."
but i must ask you,
is it because you think, you exist?
or is it because you exist, you think?
thought is just a small habit for me
and my existential relevance draws no justification from it.
if i sit here - implicitly free from thought -
do i cease to exist?
whatever people think about you, why is it important?
whatever you think about you, why is it important?
these things have no existential relevance,
only psychological and social relevance.
so where does death draw its importance from?
is it a thought?
