If there is a contradiction in the definition of an object,

reality as a whole.
That is known as 'begging the question' in that you have assumed
the result that it is necessary for you to prove. In other words,
you have a circular argument.
I don't have much of an argument for claiming that there is no
difference between possible and "real" existence. I just can't even
imagine any fundamental difference, I don't know what it would even mean.
Is there a dog in your room? Is it possible for a dog to be in your
room? Do you understand those two questions?
