staring too long into the abyss

Staggering at the edge of the abyss, see it staring back at me. Is it reality I'm losing or is reality not real? If I step through the looking-glass, will I be more alive?

This world keeps ignoring me. Fine. See what I care. After a life of frugality, I will throw away my last penny on temporary comforts.

I just want to be alive.

Reality, is never "real".
Depends on what you think of it. I live my life on the opposite side of the mirror. So, the 'reality' of everyone else, is not mine.

We both live an alternate life here... for example in the blogosphere. Don't you think this is real - now - and not the life we live outside it?

The World ignores us, because we do not live 'it'. We are not bound to it, as many are...

Thought provoking dear PP. And, a hearty "Welcome Back!" from a friend who missed you during a troubled time.

Thank you dear Prince. You are right as usual, nothing is less real than what we usually call 'reality'. Strange how desperately we still cling to the idea somehow.

Yes. We cling on because we can't think of anything else.
Eh, well.
