I've often wondered whether everything, except me, is just a figment of my imagination. There is surely no way I could ever prove it. All the people in the world, all the animals, all the trees and lakes and mountains and cars and newspapers and books and clouds and planets and aeroplanes and stars and galaxies and glaciers and computers and chairs and tables and carpets might all just be my imagination.
The French trying Joan of Arc in 1431 for wearing men's clothing and sentencing her to death by burning at the stake but, to this day, blaming it all on the English and even making Joan of Arc, who they sentenced to death, France's patron saint could just be an invention created by my imaginative imagination.
Though I know I exist because, as Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am." I cannot be a figment of my imagination because I must exist to think such a thing as "Is everything except me just a figment of my imagination?".
