I have nothing of any consequence or value to offer today. In fact, that might just be the 'order of the day' each day for the foreseeable future. I feel that my ability to concentrate, to focus on a specific subject, has become so weakened that it may never return, if indeed it ever truly existed beyond my personal mental rationalization.
Somewhere, I can't at the moment remember where, not that it matters, I read, "In philosophy, reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined."
Which makes me wonder:
Do I exist at all except within my own inner mind's incomprehensible workings?
Does anything?
Hmmmmm?
See what I mean?
