    I think therefore I am. So, are you, or are you not? I think I am but I am not sure. But then again, not being sure means that I'm thinking, and therefore am, so it's all good.

    scenario 1# - but shurely thinking about it means it isnt flowing naturally,so therefor your'e trying but you are not,if you were, you would not have to try. (trying to be something you are not that is)


    scenario 2# - the fact that your thinking is proof,so there for you are. (in existance that is)

    to feel it is to be it

    You are anything but what you think you are. You think you are, but in reality you are anything but.

    Why don't you have this same assurance & confidence when you are sleeping? Where is the "I" while sleeping? Why do you only care about it while awake?

    nice nice... you sai that the fundament of being is thinking. you think, so you are, cogito ergo sum... i agree... but when i say that i am... does that really mean that you are???
    if i aske you if you are... you could lie, you could be honest, but i would never know... it will always be a mystery, i think...

    crap... id like to say a lot, but dont know how in english... nevermind.
