174. Reason To Be Here Comments

I wish more people around the world felt like this, then the ignorance of some people's blind faith might be replaced by reflection on the truth of our nature.

Je pense donc je suis / Cogito ergo sum -essentially Descartes is saying one cannot be sure of anything else but ones own existence. After that I guess you have to take a leap pf faith that what you believe is reality is reality (not just a dream for example) . Planning ahead seems like a good idea but not at the total expense of living in the moment. Through life I find the game plan changing unpredictably throwing light on misconceptions, illusions and assumptions. Liked your poem - food for thought and I'm hungry.
