how would you describe a sense of reality?
would you say it is to be sentient?
able to perceive or feel things -
emotions.
pain.
sorrow.
lonliness.

can you describe sentience
without saying that it
is conceivable only from a living, physical being?
the answer you are looking for is no.
sentience is not obtainable through any being that is not living,
or any being that is not a physical spirit.
however, when you think of it from a perspective
of a living being
who feels a blur of emotions
someone who does not feel a legitimate sense of sentience
does that change the answer to my question?
it doesn't.
a desaturated life
well, that is no way to live.
but what do you do
when that is the only way you seem to be able to live?
the answer is simple.
you live anyways.
you just dont exist.
