There Is Only One

Because you are here, you know you are the only one who exists and who does not exist.

Because there is only one, only you matter.

Because you're the only one who matters, only you know your actions/thoughts.

Your actions/thoughts are the only things that matter.

What are things?  Things are like decisions you make as well as the material objects around you.

Only you decide what is right and what is wrong or if right and wrong have any definitions in your world.

I depend on you to know the difference between right/truth/facts and wrong/false/lies.

Do we need to camouflage ourselves from one another like a tiger in the reeds (potential predator) or a caterpillar in the jungle (potential prey)?

We are nature by nature, natural and unnatural.

Our states of energy have no moral grounds.

Knowing the definitions of states of social awareness has no meaning to a light bulb so why care if stealing adds or subtracts from a subcultural situational equation?

Two families, each with one baby.  One apple in your hand that can keep only one baby alive (half an apple is not enough).  No right or wrong.  You decide which one lives.  (Oh, by the way, now that you've fed the baby, let me tell you a small detail I almost forgot - you and the rest of the two families are going to die.)

Making decisions with no regard toward moral or ethical factors.  Subculture without culture.  Civil with no civilisation.  No social considerations.  No background stories.  Just you, here and now, over and over and over again.  That's all that being you is really all about.  Living with yourself and every decision you ever made, actively or passively.

And now it's the next moment.  Can you begin again, with no memories of who you were and the decisions you made?  Are you ready for the brand-new you?  If I gave you a reset button with no promise what the next moment would be except the fact no one would be the same or even remotely similar to anything you knew before, would you press it?  Erase it all, the good and the bad, the right and the wrong, the social clues, the familiar body, everything that you think is you and yet not you?

How could you erase it all and yet still have some semblance of an existence, some connection between then and now?  How could all those states of energy be rearranged so that they approximately equal the old you and yet have no resemblance to the old you?

There's only one way to find out.  No going back.  No ability to change your mind because there won't be any memories of what you were to change back into.

The moment for the decision appears and then disappears in an instant.  You'll always know you could have made the decision if you didn't but you'll never know you made the decision if you did.

Some of you already made the decision and don't know it.  Amazing, isn't it?  Because, see, you can make the "yes" decision over and over again without knowing you already did.  Many of you said no.  You may not have known you had only one chance to say yes but now you know...and will always know.  There's only one chance to say no.  There's always a chance to say yes again.

Think about it and you'll know which one you are.  At least one movie has made a comic point about that decision.  Many have made tragic points about the decision.

I am here because I was selected to say yes over and over again and never knowing why; especially not asking why.  Killer whale with a taste for people?  Okay, let's go for it!  Eating fried food with a family history of blocked arteries?  Bring it on!  Waking up in the middle of the day with no previous self as a reference?  What are you waiting for?  Yes!

A decision with no moral/ethical consequences?  Absolutely.  Making a decision that erases the most wonderful memories ever recorded in a brain?  Without a doubt.

There is only you.  There will never be another you.  As unique as you are, why would you ever want to change to another you?  Only you will know when the moment comes and only you will know if you said no.  You never know when or if you said yes, except for this teeny, tiny voice that tells you you've never said no, not yet, anyway.

That is, if you're listening to yourself and not all those shouting around you to get your attention.
