Ghosts of Father and Son

2008-03-06

Son:	appA, Are ghosts real?
Father:	Yes, they are real.
S:	Where are they?
F:	Right here, we are all ghosts really. But we pretend as if we are not.
S:	How do I find out that I am a ghost?
F:	What do you mean by ghost?
S:	Something that doesn’t exist really but exists only in imagination.
F:	So, if you are a ghost, you don’t exist. That means you can’t find out that you don’t exist.
S:	That doesn’t sound right. Sure I exist.
F:	Yes, yes.. you exist as a ghost.
S:	Still I have a question, if ghosts are not real, exist only in imagination and I am a ghost, so I don’t exist then who is imagining that I am a ghost or pretending that I am not a ghost?
F:	YOU are (the imagination/pretension) imagining/pretending that you are/are not a ghost.
S:	You are kidding, aren’t you?
F:	Sure I am, that’s what ghosts do.
