    And we will continue not telling you !

    Beautiful place, that. All of Okinawa, actually.


    As to my name, I won't tell. It's a secret.

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time?

And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
