Back to Descartes. How do we know that we exist?

Descartes thought process:

You can doubt the existence of everything, the only thing you can't doubt is doubt itself - which is a thought. So, the mind exists and since I think, therefore I am (I exist).

(yes I lifted it off directly from the convo)

Ah so does it mean that if you don't think, you don't exist? No wonder I keep feeling that people around me aren't real. Haha. Right.

So I've started a mini sketchbook to write down whatever comes to mind so I don't have to wait till I come home to write them down. Then yay I can just transfer the stuff over here. No need to think on the spot liao. Whooohooo.

Why isn't anyone else interested in what other people are thinking? Maybe they are, just that it never occured to them to ask. Or is the question "What do you normally think about" a ridiculous one to ask everyone? Hmm. Keep getting weird looks whenever I ask that question. Muahahahaha. *Bish*

Am I just made up of many different parts of people I meet? Lots of my habits and thoughts are lifted off from the people I meet or the stuff I read about. That are so many ideas I've picked up here and there. How would I know which ones are truly mine and which I borrowed? Even those which I think are mine may not be mine after all. I may have subconsciously taken them from someone else. In that case, what is it I have that is truly mine? My own. My preeeecciousssss.... Maybe the only thing I have is the choices I make, of which habits and thoughts to keep and which to discard.

Concepts and ideas can only go as far as there are WORDS to describe them. Can ideas exist where there are no words to describe them?

Where does a circle begin?

Switchfoot - Concrete Girl
Bleeding thoughts
Cracking boulder
Don't fall over
Fake your laughter
Burn the tear
Sing it louder,
Twist and shout

Way up here
We stand on shoulders
Growing colder
Laugh or cry
I wont mind
Sing it louder,
Twist and shout

Immovable shadows
Concrete girl
They'll rock your world
To nothing
And they're swimming
Around again, again
And they're swimming
Around the concrete girl

Catch your breath
Like four leaf clover
Hand it over

Scream to no one
Take your time
Sing it louder,
Twist and shout

Nothing to run from
Is worse than something
And all your fears
Of nothing
And they're swimming
Around again, again
And they're swimming
Around the concrete girl

Concrete girl
Don't fall down
In this broken world
Around you
Concrete girl
Don't fall down
Don't fall down
My concrete girl
Don't stop thinking
Don't stop feeling

One step away
From where we were
And one step back
To nothing
And we're standing on top
Of hopes and fears
And we're fighting
For words now
Concrete girl
And we're swimming
Around again, again
And we're swimming
Around now
Concrete girl
