Progressive

I lived in Amsterdam for a while. At first glance, Amsterdam seems progressive: the most progressive people live there.

Thoughts are real in the same way your bike in the garden is real. The difference is that thoughts only exist for a very short time—maybe just a second—but they are as real as if they were flying through your room right now.
