Philosophical Thoughts

So I am at work thinking about a current question. Is it certain we are going to die? Which makes me contemplate certainty and its limitations. When one becomes certain about ANYTHING one stops questioning and when one stops questioning that means one is content with the answers in front of them. I have never been certain about anything in my life and people are always telling me how I need to make this choice or that choice and decide what I am and what I want and what I believe but I can never fully commit because I just dont know. I am one of those people who needs to find out for myself. I am a philosopher. On a journey of discovery. I have know from the time I was very young that I would be a very important addition to society and although I was distracted at times I feel I am on my way to my purpose. One day you will all, well not you in particular but people, will all read about me in history books. I will discover things and formulate theories. Theories that will lead to new ways of life. So many things out there right now are so wrong. We all believe everything we read and hear and see because we are taught to memorize things. That is what they are. Do not question just learn and answer and pass and achieve. The law is another thing. If it is legal it is right. We dont even question it half of the time. Women consistantly go into clinics at 5 months pregnant and get abortions because the law says it is okay to do. The law used to say it was okay to kill your children if they were female and not male, very recently in china actually, and people would think okay the law says it legal it must be right. But the law doesnt determine morals and values. The law is not always right. Doctors are not always right. The news is not always right. All im saying is one cannot learn information and accept that it is right without researching and analyzing yourself. Sometimes I will contradict myself. We all learn contradictions are bad and show the person doesnt know what they are talking about. In reality life is changing, people grow and when you grow you change. I used to be afraid to write something because I felt I was committing to what I write and had to remember my belief or my stance when in reality I dont have to! How I feel and what I believe today may change tomorrow. My goal is not to sound good but to actually understand and grow as a person. So I started this blog, for no other reason than to.......grasp a better understanding of life.
