What is existence, anyway? Apart from our physical existence composed of chemical elements, we can exist purely inside our own minds and we can also exist in the minds of those we interact with. Which of these three is proper existence? Or, is it a combined effect of all of them?
Yesterday I saw the news of someone's death, a renowned author and poet. Her ex-husband had given a statement reminiscing about her talent and it was simply formal. They had spent quite some time together and raised kids. Still, it seemed that her existence had already become a simple matter of past to him, a part of life experiences and nothing more.
Perhaps, this is the way of life? All things pass and become a part of the dreary and monotonous existence that is our 'Past'?
Where is my own existence in it? Can I exist on my own, irrespective of those interactive and mutual existences which are already a part of the past?

@Emmyy, it was your Rambling which suddenly prompted me to write something :D

      Chasing what you want, discarding any obstacle, proves you are an end from your own strive--the bearer who carves eternity

      I only have to disagree with dreary and monotonous part..also hard to believe my rambling was inspirational haha..:eek::p
      Also very sad about the man recounting his wife's life..
      I think someone could ponder the meaning of existence almost endlessly.
      I know I am happy people exist in my memories..nothing like recalling a moment shared..something reminds you of someone and in the middle of a crowd you burst out laughing causing people to stare at you. Or a moment of sadness recalling someone which brings a tear to your eye(corny but true)
      I like to think too sometimes a person who left me thinks of moments we shared once in awhile and smiles randomly remembering I existed in their life at one time and they existed in mine... we had fun and made memories together. :p
