Cogito ergo sum


Sidney Madwed's famous quote about Life:
Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.
Oh how wonderful it would be to possess such brilliantlly articulate ideas! I don't always know how to explain myself. I fear writing my thoughts because words end up diminishing meaning. And this becomes a source of frusturation. But Sidney here has proven that words are merely a means to communicate the message. Essentially words are unimportant. For even if the words we chose do shape our realities and build a context for the world we walk in, it's the quietest thoughts that infintively perpetuate our existence. Once you think it, it's out there. It's real.

And as Rene Descartes famously put it “I think, therefore I am”.
