but i'm tired of the lying, tired of fighting you.
Chances are, in your lifetime you haven't spent much time thinking about Immanuel Kant. This is likely because of the fact he was an 18th century philosopher from Germany. He spent most of his time thinking, instead of watching television, this is partially because of the fact that living the the 18th century, didn't involve television to watch. He had this idea that if the brain could only think in a form of causality -which he was later able to prove correct- then we are able to know, before even testing an object, that it must have some sort of cause, or reason for being there. This also meant that everyone had some reason or another for being here, this would make anyone feel pretty damned important to know that they were good for something. To know we have a purpose for being here. The main problem is that most people never find out this reason for being here, we're all either too busy planting our faces in front of television cassettes. Those that aren't pay too little attention to see the amazing things happening around them. Muriel Rukeyser once said "The universe is made up of stories, not of atoms". Its a nice thought, maybe every one's purpose is to create a story, every one a little different.
