first, franc good answer on the question of the car accidents, you a correct, according to the definition, here also you have a good answer.
to the asker i'd say that, We are here, that is what we are.
say, a process instead of a noun as you are seeking. it would seem our minds only compuste nouns. even of "a" process.
any how, 'we exist' this is a response i feel is 'more'(as opposed to most or exactly) correct, what can we ever trule know? as my posed question asks.
also one could say, we are quite 'strange'!
i mean.. inquireing , curious things with one head, four limbs, 'walking' on 2 of them, sitting infront of computers ect.... i could go on.

When asked this question we often answer it by defining ourselves as an OBJECT - we are a soul, a body, a mind, a human animal, a child of God, sons and daughters of such and such. Pick your ideology and an OBJECT definition of what we are will follow.
Would it not be more interesting to think of ourselves as a PROCESS? We are -- living, dancing, thinking, looking, creating, breathing, breeding, BEING. Note that in thinking this way there is no separation of subject / object. In the process you/me/them/God are irrelevant. There is only the dance.

Potentially children of God Almighty.
(Mat 5:9) Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
(Jhn 11:52) And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
(Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we ( Followers and Acceptors of Jesus The Christ) are the children of God:
(Rom 8:21) Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
(Rom 9:8) That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. ( Holy Spirit is that seed)
(1Jo 3:10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
(Gal 3:26) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
(1Jo 5:2) By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
By this we are to believe and be as he is which created us and become his children of which he intended from the beginning brought to him by his first born son Jesus (Yeshua) The Christ in Greek and The Messiah in Hebrew. Son Of The Living God. There is Hope.

You are all figments of my imagination.
How would the classics handle that statement; Kant, Descartes and Machiavelli. Extra points for citing a 20th century philosopher.
