Maybe I jaded or whatever but at least to me, musing like this are
like
contemplating how many angles can stand on the head of a pin, or when
that tree falls in the forest and no one is there does it make a
sound.
You blink your eye, flip your mirror, or you go to sleep it does not
matter
the old world grinds on with or without you and as far as most of us
are
concerned will exist long after we are dust.
Chris - No offense intended
