"Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum"
Translation: "I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am" ~ Descartes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used to think as a child
That we weren't really "real"
We we're puppets, in a greater scheme

I used to believe that my thoughts
Weren't really mine
Because the events that made me think them,
Weren't because of me
Therefore I wasn't in control

But I began to think
And doubt
And if I have the capacity to doubt
Then I have the capacity to "live"
And create

Therefore I am real

My thoughts may not be predictable
But I can make them acceptable

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I read this qoute in the book "Turtles All the Way Down" by John Green and I absolutely loved it. I highly recommend the book!!!!
