To: My future self:

Hello there, your younger self here. Now I'm no philosopher but I have been up for the past hour studying philosophical terms so I could sound smarter in conversations. I mean who wouldn't be intimidated by a person that casually quotes Camus and Voltaire. Yes they would sound pretentious and annoying but they usually are respectable, aren't they?

Anyway, I came across a certain theory in my pursuit of philosophical enlightenment. The theory of Solipsism.

Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist.
A solipsistic person would think that the whole world exists based on his imagination. That he made reality in his head and everything except his mind doesn't exist.
It's a confusing theory I won't lie but it got me wondering.
I started to make up unrealistic scenarios that we usually love to entertain.

What if we're solipsistic?

What if we thought the world into existence. What if humans are just fictional characters we created. What if we designed life. What if we live in our own imagination and laws of nature are just smart explanations to cover up silly plot holes.

Let's think the unthinkable shall we? Let's entertain solipsism for a second.

What if we made it all up? So I came here to ask you couple of questions because i couldn't answer them myself, maybe you know better:

How did you come up with gravity? Why was flying out of the question? Could it have messed with the plot? Or is this a twisted way you chose to prove a point? To pin everyone to the ground without giving them anyone to put the blame on? To wage war against all humanity while putting the fault on an unseen force? Cause I think that's lazy writing, and i think that's evil. Are we lazy at writing?

How did we come up with music? How does contact create vibrations and vibrations create sounds? How do sounds create a melody and if we made everything then how the hell do we get lost in our own creations?

What gave you the inspiration to come up with the sun and stars? How did you imagine ice cream and chocolate?

How did you come up with all the good things in life?
How did you come up with love...?
