You can compare any two things you want but doing so does not make it a valid analogy.
I appreciate your input but there's no need to be a douche. If you think it's nonsense then leave it at that. Just a fleeting thought I've had in the past that I thought I would share, nothing more.

It would seem to me that we have to have a recollection of something to experience it. I mean, if you ate a sandwich and didn't remember it then it's as if you never ate it, in your mind at least.
I don't know, just something I had on my mind that I thought I'd get some input on.
