Philosophical conundrum

Philosophical conundrum: How do we know we exist? I mean, really. Moving about the world isn’t proof enough. I know plenty of folks who walk this earth not knowing what their existences are about. What’s worse — they don’t care to investigate either. Introspection may be difficult (very, sometimes) but the need to ask questions and seek answers remains essential to those on the path to transformation or enlightenment. This flabby flesh of mine proves nothing. Being in language and actively engaging with it provides such proof — but what gets us there? (What gets me there?) How do we know we exist enough to speak, write, author, or — to simply be? This line of questioning has been on my mind for nearly a year now. It’s been there lurking behind my work, never overtly, but its continued presence caught my attention today. I’m not sure I’m much closer to an answer than I was 10 months ago. My search, however, will not cease.
