+  Through logic alone, you are existing now. Your existence
+  on a literal level is the presence of your physical body.
+  In a more abstract sense, you may continue to exist as
+  a person or concept if you're carried as knowledge or
+  as a memory. These are common ideas, and with them out
+  of the way, I would like to ask something.
+  
+  How do you define your existence?
+  
+  Do you exist when you are alone or do you base your
+  existence around others? Specifically, do you base
+  it on how you are percieved?
+  
+  Do you see it as simply existing in a body that will
+  eventually pass into dirt once it ceases biological
+  function or as your connection to others? In other words,
+  you have an existence in other people, sure, but what
+  is its value? Most importantly, to you.
+  
+  If I were to cut off all existence around others and
+  continue to exist as somebody that nobody interacts
+  with, I still exist literally. I can still think and
+  act and do whatever. Do I still exist to others?
+  If nobody knew me, if everyone forgot, I don't exactly
+  exist in a, let's say, "global" sense.
+  
+  Does it matter?
+  
+  That's not what I was thinking of. I was thinking about
+  whether cutting off people entirely would give me
+  a break from existing. Since I have no actions, I have
+  no impact, and thus no consequences that could shape
+  my bonds with others and their perception of me.
+  
+  How do you define your existence?
+  
+  I did not answer my own question. I don't want to
+  reach an answer. I've long ago come to terms with the
+  concept of ceasing existence. I don't need to think about
+  it again. I was just wondering about the difference between
+  my existence solely and in relation to others.
