The philosophy:-> Cogito ergo sum...meaning I think therefore I am. It was first quoted by a famous thinker Descartes( hope i spelled it right, no offences neant by wron spelling :))
Actually I don't buy this philosphy, I think, therefore I am. Think, that every human does. As soon as you stop thinking, you are either dead or have entred in super concious state. It is not even a state of sleep, because in sleep too, you think.
So why the name "I think, therefore I am". Just, it caught my attention. Had to contemplate on it for quite some time. Had to come to the conclusion, that this constant thinking, constant chattering mind, incessant live commentry running within is very intresting. This very moment, as you are reading this, you can hear your chatter within. Someone inside saying"hmm quite boring", "seems to be lifted from somehwere", "Ya i know it, i have read it somewhere".
The whole mission of life, being to know this commentator, to know this talkative old friend who has been following us the time from when we have started making concious decisions.
hmmm...quite heavy huh.
To end on a lighter note...from one of my favourites Mulla Naseruddin
Children saw Mulla Naseruddin coming from the vineyard with 2 basketfuls of grapes on his donkey, gathered around him and asked him to give them some.
Mulla Naseruddin picked up a bunch of grapes, cut it up into pieces and gave each child a piece.
"You have so much, but you gave us so little," the children complained.
"There is no difference whether you have a basketful or a small piece. They all taste the same," Mulla Naseruddin remarked.
