Quote by Shunya

“Two TV sets are kept in front of each other, each tuned to a different channel. The presenter in one TV says, “How are you?” Then the presenter in other TV says, “I am fine.” This is a coincidence, not communication. People are TV sets tuned to their own unique channel. Communication is an illusion. This illusion breaks if you are in relationship with someone who is “very hard to communicate with.” Otherwise you keep living in the illusion your whole life.”

“Right now you are in a scene in which the main character is reading these words. In the next moment, you may enter into some far away scene (Imagination). After sleeping, you move through many random scenes (Dreaming). So, you are not a fixed thing which enters in the body at birth and moves out at death. You are a thing which moves constantly from one scene to another, from one character to another.”

“Under normal circumstances the liar is defeated by reality, for which there is no substitute; no matter how large the tissue of falsehood that an experienced liar has to offer, it will never be large enough, even if he enlists the help of computers, to cover the immensity of factuality.”
