"But I have convinced myself that there is absolutely nothing in the world, no sky, no earth, no minds, no bodies. Does it now follow that I too do not exist? No: if I convinced myself of something [or thought anything at all] then I certainly existed. But there is a deceiver of supreme power and cunning who is deliberately and constantly deceiving me. In that case I too undoubtedly exist, if he is deceiving me; and let him deceive me as much as he can, he will never bring it about that I am nothing so long as I think that I am something. So, after considering everything very thoroughly, I must finally conclude that the proposition, I am, I exist, is necessarily true whenever it is put forward by me or conceived in my mind." (AT VII 25; CSM II 16–17)
my take on the above!!!
the deception im talkin about is what id like to call as mindgames played on us. im questioning the aspects of my existence. am i here for a purpose? if so is it useful?what defines "being useful" is it useful in general or for a specific person? is it time bound? does it make a difference to the human cycle/race if i stop existing and start living or vice versa? if yes then how and most importantly why? i do agree that every action has an equal and opposite reaction! but then does my act account to such a degree that the natures balance gets shaken? and if it does!!! was it meant to be? if something has already occured then how does it matter if it was meant to be or not!!! it doesnt change the incidents which have already taken place!.. then why do we make fools of ourselves by thinking"it was meant to be"...
hmmmm
