For even if there are other universes and we inhabit a multiverse what exists between them is a part of the fabric of reality too

The fact that everything is connected is a reason why I hold the beliefs I do. When I talk about separation context is important. It should be obvious what I mean but instead you try and
apply a grand principle to the dichotomy I used to make a point. You didnt address that point I made you stated that on a grand scale my premise is wrong. When looking at things there
are orders of magnitude. You used a level of magnitude that doesnt fit the situation

What I said there is actually my own philosophy which is why I mentioned it so I was not intentionally trying to prove you wrong

I see all of existence as perpetual motion. I see life and death as different points on the spectrum of existence. I see no objective meaning to any of it other than it existing simply
because it can. Our own existence in the grand scheme of things also means absolutely nothing. This sounds exactly like nihilism but I am not a nihilist. I see existence more from
a neutral perspective than a negative one. I try to be as emotionally detached from all this as much as possible because I prefer to think logically or either simply just let things be

I have no interest in convincing anyone of any of this or indeed anything else because how they think is outside my jurisdiction. I only have jurisdiction over my
own mind and so that is the only one I work with. I can tell others what I think and why. But what they do with that information is also outside my jurisdiction

Being detached brings peace of mind. Ultimate peace of mind comes with death. And that is why it should not be feared. I have absolutely no fear of it at all
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
