This reminds me of a zen story where a group of monks were on a journey. One night they stopped to make camp by a large boulder. One of the old monks asked the group if the rock existed inside their heads or not. After some thought, one of the young monks said: the rock exists only in my head. The old monk looked at him and said: your head must be very heavy.

Dan:

Yet you'll never know if you're right or not...

Dan:
Possibly.

 
Thank you,
