Introduction:

Hi Everyone, this is my first post ever. I thought of a story while reading on John Locke argument on self identity,This story is meant to be more of a thought experiment meant to ignite various philosophical questions.

Story:

There was lovely family ,they had a son ,there life was so happy and normal , in fact too normal and happy (creepily happy ) considering modern standards , but they had a bothersome neighbor , he was a detective and a philosopher , one day he sneaked into there barn and observed , that a demon came and took there child then murdered it , but replaced that child with exact replica of it !, exactly same , with same memories ,body ,personality etc. He observed , family life went normal as ever , ever happy and lovely life . That detective got struck with brilliant idea , he approached demon and made a deal.

First he asked “Hi demon ,why do you do this "

Demon : " Becoz it’s lot of fun!”

Detective : “How about i give you an idea ,that will enhance your fun even further ! "

Demon : " I am listening "

Detective: " How about instead of just replacing his son everyday , you destroy and replace every objects in there life , there material belonging to to there souls "

Demon : “Ha ha , You are more demon then me , i like it !”

From that day on , demon did those all .

There life was as happy as ever was, WAS IT? ,a lovely family
