I have been approached via email concerning Samara. Some wanted proof of its existence and I bet some denied that I, by custom and not by choice, belong to it.

I found the content of the email rather amusing. Because I humored the notion that perhaps Samara does not really exist. Maybe I imagined it all and I wrote of this fabrication to entertain a group of anonymous and semi-anonymous readers.
After thinking of that I followed to a former time of my life when I doubted the existence of anything and everything.

I once played with the thought that if I am limited in my perception, if I know only what I can receive through the incomplete faculties of the senses and if every individual hosts a different version of what lies around us then, nothing really exists. Each imagines the world in his/her own way.
I never really spoke of that to anyone, I put it to test and I discovered that it is simply too “extreme”, I should say.

For the dubious out there I post a picture of a road sign that salutes one when one first enters Samara. If that does not convince you then I advise you head to the south of the kingdom, find Karak then look for Samara. And if you embrace my former skepticism then I do not think you would voice it.
