+ What is wrong with assuming that everybody is as free as I am?

- Almost nothing, the only thing is that they are not.

+ Correct, but is it my fault?

- But it is the reality you live in.

+ Does it have to be my reality too?

- Not at all.

+ Then how can I possibly treat them as if they are some sort of slaves?

- Aren't they?

+ Not really, they just think this is an easier way of living.

- Isn't it the right thing to do?

+ Depends on what you understand from the word easy.

- Correct, but still, you cannot pretend as if they are free.

+ Why not?

- I've told you once: Because they are not.

+ Do you assert that their slavery necessitates my enslavement?

- Partly yes, partly no.

+ What do you mean?

- Partly no, as you can, in principle, totally reject them. Partly yes, as you cannot, in practice, totally reject them.

+ Correct, is there a way out of this?

- (surprised) Of course ...

+ (interrupts) I mean, other than death?

- Ah.. (calms down) We don't know, I can't give you enough evidence showing that it does not exist.

+ (slily) You can't give me enough evidence showing that it does exist, can you?

- Of course I can't.

+ Do you have any advices?

- Keep on existing.

+ (angry) What kind of an advice is that! I'm not asking you whether I should exist or not, but rather how I should exist.

- I don't see any reason why you should change the way you have been existing.

+ Do you see any reason why I should maintain the way I have been existing?

- Well. Not really.

+ So?

- I guess that's all the answers I can give you.

+ But you didn't give me any answers whatsoever.

- Correct.
