another random thought
The quote "I think therefore I am," I think (ha!) is a bunch of crap, what about the existence of the rock sitting on the ledge of a cliff "It sits therefore it is?" The above quote maybe talking about the soul? I don't know. But I think it's a failed attempt at explaining existence/reality. While thought provoking, I believe it only goes as far as consciousness/self-awareness, but not as deep as to existence. Why are we here so to speak. another thought; how egomanical is it to "define" reality, what is reality? perception? collective understanding of what is? I don't believe there is a correct answer, if there is you are God.
A Random Question
Feel free to answer this yourselves.
Define the human condition in one word then follow-up with an explanation.
My answer: Struggle-
A struggle with ones one sense of self,
struggle with the outside environment,
struggle against animalistic/evolutionary instincts/impulses,
struggle to define purpose,
struggle against all others that impose,
struggle to maintain balance and harmony when it has no real control,
struggle with reality and its perception of reality,
This strugle with in humans ownselves and the self awareness of this struggle, be it conscious or subconscious is what sets humans apart from the rest of the creations.
