think about itA Poem by RuseInexi think, therefore i am i borrow from rene decartes to ponder philosophically and share my thoughts of thinking i think that because i think- i am, but there are exceptions, to modify the great descarte's expression i am, regardless of whether i think or not because when i sleep i am unaware unless i ride along as a thinking passenger with my subconsciousness driving me its plot however, i am not thinking, my dear rene, as in the case of a dreamless state or knocked out cold under anesthesia and yet i am, because upon waking and rising and reflecting, i draw upon the conclusion, clear that i am, because i still was, though asleep by another proof my wife perhaps, by my snoring knows despite my unawares, that i am i exist, i lie beside her alive although i do not know myself that i am, at theat point because i am unconscious i think therefore i am and if i find myself not thinking i nonetheless still am i am to someone i will forever be whether thinking or not - think of a rock, for instance it does not think, but it is - it exists a rock cannot say i am - but it is and if a corpse cannot think it still is, it exists, even as it cannot think as the decomposition of a corpse takes effect and its state changes biochemically - the transformation of matter - where has its thinking gone? . . . to the place from whence it sprang? after all, matter cannot be created or destroyed something is missing, . . . isn't it? . . . the corpse was, therefore it is the trick is to find its missing piece which has passed to another state? another place? my body is only a part of the real me i think because i am the power to think is a blessing © 2017 RuseInex |
