Do we exist or is it just a perception?

Question

Do we exist or is it just a perception?

Answer 1

Everything is an illusion created by the devil and we are just energy and memory floating in nothingness.  or so they say...Philosophy is too confusing to discuss.

Answer 2

If we don't exist, then who is it that does the perceiving?  

The more challenging question would have to be, do the things we perceive exist by themselves and not as mere perceptions?

Answer 3

If it is only a perception how can it be formed without existence?

Answer 4

Could a limitedness of perception covers the complexity of existence ?

Answer 5

even if its a perception would that mean that we don't exist? of course not. our existence isn't subjected to that perception. our stage of mind and consciousness is always present to us and thats all that matters.

Answer 6

I exist, but I'm not too sure about the rest of you.

Answer 7

We only exist for those who perceive us, including ourselves.

Answer 8

wow...i think about this all the time....i'm always wondering if we're some weird billion year old humans that are highly evolved, who just go to sleep and dream their lives away in like metal caskets, lol....

but even if we are just that, it doesnt make a difference....life is still life as it is, even if it is just a dream or "perception" as you call it. sometimes i think, "maybe none of this is even real....what if i'm in a coma or if i'm just dreaming?" but even after thinking such thoughts, i believe that i want to make the best out of life, real or dream....either way, its gotta be good.

its just you deciding whether or not to believe if we really exist or if it is just a perception.

Answer 9

That which does not exist cannot have perceptions. Therefore; you exist. What do you thing "Cogito ergo sum" means?
