I have not seen the post before. I wonder how I could have lived without it.

In as much as I am unable to prove either that I exist or that I don't, I do

I am still not sure about anything or anybody else's actual, real, physical
existence and I do not feel that logic can prove that all such experiences of
such other beings that I encounter in my existence are not just flashbacks from
the sixities.
Now then, since I am -- and since I cannot prove that all you people are,
then I get to make up, decide, determine, delineate all the rules. I and I
alone get to differentiate between the ineluctable and the eluctable, the
inexorable from the exorable. Other than the crude bodily processes that
impinge their inexorableness and ineluctableness upon my existence, other than
the screaming of the gonads (more like a whimper now) and other such gross
bodily needs and demands (can you tell that I was raised Catholic?) other than
that, life is mine to be meaningfillized in whatever way pleases me. I am the
meaningfiller of existence. It is totally up to me what it all means.
So then, what is meaningful? Ah, there's the rub.
