Therefore I Exist



We are radically free and free will is infinite. We will never be able to explain our actions according to human nature. Our choices constitute our values. Every choice we make will have an effect on our lives in a good or a bad way. A person has total control over his/her life and about who he/she will become. There is no limitation to what we can grow to be. I believe anyone can achieve whatever they want by creating that image about themselves and going after their goals. We can do anything that we really want. Freedom is infinitive. Subjectivity in that man/woman is nothing else, but what he/she makes of himself/herself. This is supported by the idea that existence proceeds essence. We existed first, encounters life in the world, and we define ourselves at the end. We will only exist when we know and what plans to be. Thus, we are in total control of ourselves and we put our entire responsibility for our existence upon ourselves. What do we really know for sure or things with absolute certainty? In order to find certainty, you must be able to rule out all ideas that have doubts and work only with premises that are beyond doubt. If you try to doubt everything that you can, everything that you can’t doubt must be certain. We can’t verify that something do EXIST or is REAL. Simply because we are having an experience that makes us BELIEVE its so. Moreover, our senses and our power of reasoning are not enough. We might have ideas that might not be true, or not even be real, but the proposal of GOD must exist because HE is a perfect being, therefore he must exist to be relied upon as our source of knowledge. Only thing that you can’t doubt is that you are having certain experiences and thoughts. Therefore, this is a proof of existence. Additionally, you can’t doubt that you actually exist because if you didn’t exist, you wouldn’t be able to have those thoughts. Hence...I think, I speak, therefore…. I EXIST!
