What Is This?

— What is this?
— I see a dog… No! I see a fox…
— No! What is THIS?
— A shadow?
— No… My hands.
— Oh! I see your hands. Is that what that is? I like more the dog or the fox…
— Well, it is not a dog or a fox. These are my hands. I am showing you what I can do with both my hands.
— But still, you can see a dog/fox in the wall.
— Yeah, but why are you focusing on the wall?
— Well, you asked me “what is this?” and I looked at the shadow in the wall and I saw a dog or fox, whatever you call it.
— Ok, but I already told you, there is no dog or fox. Only my hands.
— I know, man. But I am telling you: I CAN SEE A DOG/FOX!
— Yeah… But I already told you. There is no dog/fox on the wall. I mean, if you focus on the wall, of course there is. But I am not talking of that. I am talking of what there actually is: My hands.
— Yeah, but as you did that, THERE WAS ALSO A DOG/FOX. Like, why would that not exist or be real?
— Because they are shadows…
— So what? It was a representation…
— Ok, whatever…
A complete silence becomes uncomfortable for a second until the latter one speaks.
— Did you hear about the school shooting?
— Yeah… So sad. Like… Fucking kids and their stupid videogames, right?
