About This Quote
This is a very interesting and uniquely different way of expressing that we exist. It means that we can believe we exist even though we can’t be certain. We don’t exist the same way as everyone else. The idea is that our existence is something very different than what other people think. Our existence has a certain uniqueness which sets us separate from others and allows us to believe we exist even though we can’t be certain.
