"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."

Let's assume that you would somehow be cloned like in the movie The 6th Day. The clone would be identical to you in any respect and even have all your knowledge, personality, etc. and would be of the same age as you.
What would you do? Would you simply treat each other like siblings, like twins treat each other? Or maybe you couldn't stand yourself? What would happen?

It can't last forever, though I know some who would say it will. Even if we can't know, what would be the ideal follow-up? The realistic follow-up?

What if we are all in a sleep state.that this is not really reality.Our thoughts and preceptions are controlled through stimula and drugs.Even the answers we seek are generated to pacify us.Now for a big step.What if the solid objects we preceive to be solid are really not there but just a thought process. Everthing we think and do is judged for a final out come. What we preceive as yrs are really seconds and time has really no meaning.This may sound like a crazy person , but be assured I'm not. Its just a thought that has haunted me since I was about eight. I'm now 43.

and therefore in order to have a life, one has to buy ones life, or have it bought for them by their mother or benefactor, or the landowner who has bought the land they forage, and the food ,for freegans that they forage. The whole earth is purchased therefore to first of all be living in the first place, ones life has to be bought, and so the best things in life are not free. as one has to buy ones life first, in order to experience anything.. "The best things in life are free" therefore is a lie.

Let's face it, the world isn't perfect. It never was, never will. but how can we roll around on this huge mudball and still come out staying clean, facing liars, cheaters, and frauds? And even so, do we still have the right to have moral indignation even though we have no morals ourselves?

We show different behaviour before one person to another. We do different things at college than what we do at cinema.

At times, we are aggressive and at times we are in love. What is it? Change of states of mind?
