Sometimes I feel like I don't believe in anything.

  1. I feel that way at the moment. It's scary and freeing at the same time. I don't believe in what the media says, what the government says, what people say, what anyone says.

    but nevermind that, that doesn't even exist in my mind anymore. none of this exists. i don't believe my perceptions of reality. This computer i'm typing on, be it a matter wave or a projection of the boundary of the universe, doesn't exist to me. You don't exist, I don't exist. what we see and experience is meaningless. i dont believe in it. it's like a dream you'll just forget in the morning when you don't wake up.

    but it's no reason for suicide or anything,, dont get me wrong. curiosity of what "this" is and why "this" is is something to live for. (whatever living really means). i'm not trying to be emo, just contemplative.

    decartes said "i think, therefore i am," but what am thinking is only observed by me, which is biased. how do i know i am actually thinking, what is thinking, does thinking matter?

    ..just some thoughts by a confused physicist that my or may not mean anything to you or anyone else..

  2. Dear Physicist,

    I agree with your concern of being forced to only perceive biasedly but it is in our discussion and common ground that Descartes discussed as the "I" he believed that it is only in thinking that we are human because it seems as though all human's can agree that they think. Ans as for being emo, I'm sure if someone looked over my blog they'd see an endless sunset on hope.
    I'm happy that you took the time to comment, often people don't and it's interesting that you commented on one of my shortest posts.
    And I agree the sense of not knowing what to believe in or where to invest our time is often so freeing but caging at the same time. It's almost as if we have an anxiety that comes from so many choices and decisions and yet through all our decisions we can't qualitatively prove that a+b=c every time.
    I hope that you are successful in everything you do, and if you ever feel as though life is getting bleak and meaningless and you are thinking of suicide there is an amazing online community called imalive.org that can always be there to support you, you can also contact me here or through facebook.

    Cecilia.
