The most important thing in life is to recognize the difference between real and unreal. No object, whether a thought or thing, is actual or real in of itself.
One summer afternoon when I was around sixteen years young, I was out rambling somewhere and had the spontaneous thought: "If I can figure out what is real, it will take care of God and everything else." This was a great quest, it seemed to me. I still think so.
We all have insights that pop out of the blue from time to time, and are quickly forgotten unless we write them down on a piece of scratch paper or in a notebook. We should, I usually don't.
Are these words real? It's for the reader to decide.
