Thanks for your clarification! So, based on your assumption that there is an objective reality, and also upon your decisions about what you think is important, what do you think about the OP? I will understand that anything you write will be conditioned by that assumption about reality and personal decisions about important things (rather than as claims about the true nature of reality). Even so, I'd still be interested in what you have to say about whether or not there is a thing which exists without conditions for its existence.
