"Every place you've never visited doesn't exist until you visit it. Meaning, we can imagine places all we want, but until we see them, they aren't real. And once we return to our homes, they cease to exist, and never did exist.
What do you think about these crazy-ass thoughts?!"
What exactly defines existence? Do things exist by extension? Like if you have never been to India, but go there, you now know India exists. But do the people inside India exist, because India exists? And for the matter, if you meet someone from Switzerland, that person now exists, but does Switzerland exist? Unless something effects you directly, it does not exist. So by making somewhere or someone exist, do you make everything that exists to them, exist to you?
On a more vague scale, do pictures of places constitute existence of the place they show? Or is just the actual picture itself exist? If a person dies, do they still exist? Does belief for a god make the god exist?
This is all very abstract, and sometimes a lot to take in at once. But it is delicious food for thought. Yum.
