I understand what you're saying, but there is a point when such consepts are taken to ridiculous extremes and it goes from philosophy to existentialism. Existentialism is the belief that you don't exist unless I say you do, that I'm not really typing this message, and dammit because it's what I believe that automaticly means it is true. Just try to argue with me, you nonexistant filament of my hallucination!
Get it?
Then why are you not paying my bills? (IMG:

From my personal belief system, and I have no issue with others having theirs, we are all just hallucinations of each other, from the ALL. We exist in the mind of the ALL and think we are separate and dual.
Take it back to justified or unjustified killing, a duality, this symptom of consciousness. From a stand point of my separateness with the knowledge that we are whole or one I think it is wrong to kill any human for I am killing a part of myself. At the same time knowing that few other people view this existence as I do and are only capable of seeing duality and will gladly kill me for what ever motivation, I will take their material existence to preserve mine. Hence I own a .45 and have a concealed carry permit. So it is my personal philosophy to try to live "in the world, but not of the world," and I try not to participate in the petty dualities of the world. On the other hand I am not a pacifist and do not see a problem with a bad apple being removed from the bunch.
