ARE YOU REAL?

Yes.

Sadly !
I had hoped that life was just another computer simulation.
But I fear this is the real deal !

Well I have a form and a thinking mind so I'm real in some sense of the word.

I think so. How can I be sure?

I'm not sure.

If I pinch myself it hurts.
But who knows? I could be a puppet in a big game programmed to feel the pinch.
