What self-awareness means?

Cogito Ergo Sum (I think; therefore I am) 

René Descartes

Our existence is at the center of our life. Somebody might blame me for that "me-centric" way to see things. But who is in the middle of our life? Or who is the main character in our life? That character is the thing who is the thing that reads this text without moving lips. When we are thinking that we are the center of our own life we must understand one thing. 

If something happens to us, the only person who feels that thing is we or I, if we are thinking only of ourselves. If somebody says that we are idiots, we have the right to feel bad about that thing. We have the right to have bad days. And if somebody is acting like we air, we have the right to feel offended. We don't have to smile and feel good if somebody is bullying us. 

If somebody acts like we are garbage, we have the right to feel bad. Even that person is boss we must not like everything that those persons are saying. If we get a speeding ticket, we must not smile at the police even that person is working for the state. We have the right to feel bad in that situation. 

Sometimes people are thinking that people just sitting and staring at walls are not doing anything important. There are always better ways to waste time than just staring at the wall and concentrate on the abyss. During we are string the wall we are concentrating on the thing that is making humans so superior. That thing is called thinking. Thinking is existence and thinking is the consciousness existence of the person.

Cogito Ergo Sum said philosopher René Descartes once. In English that thing means I think; therefore I exist. Maybe that quote came into the mind of that philosopher when somebody asked him are you existed? And how do you know that you exist? How do people know that they exist? The answer that René Descartes gave was that the reason why he existed was that he thought. He thought and realized his existence so that meant he exists. 

Existence is right to have own space.  But when the idea of existence and thinking came in the mind of Descartes that thing caused probably one induction thought. How do we know that things that we are thinking are real? They are real to the thinker. But they are not probably the same way as real to other people. We know that there is no absolute reality. Our senses are things that are causing that the observations that we are getting are always unique. 

But the experiences that we have are also coloring our way to see things. And one thing that we should see is that we exist. Our existence is one thing in our life that we are not thinking about too often. We are not realizing that our existence is the center of our life. Everything that happens to us happens to us, not the person who stands next to us. If something hurts somebody else that thing is not happening to me. That thing happens to that other guy. Same way if somebody or something hurts me would not hurt the person next to me.

Those very well known words of the famous philosopher René Descartes are also very mysterious, and when we are thinking about the personality of this man, we might ask, what he meant, when he said or wrote those very famous words? Did he mean, that the thinking proved that he was alive or existed? That means Descartes was thought something very deep in his head. And when we are trying to analyze the origin of those words, we might want to know, was Descartes very tired?  Or was he in some bar, or talking with another person? And did this another person wrote those words to paper, because he or she understood the deep philosophy about those words. This is the reason, why this text is actually philosophical writing about those famous words, what are one of the most well-known words, what any philosopher has ever said.


But there is another way to close those words, and this is that Descartes actually was very careful in his private relationships, and avoided to talk deep things with opponents, who might modify or tell those things selectively to the people, who they would not be meant. I think that Descartes meant that writing would save his head sometimes because that allows proving the words to the officials. Of course, Descartes warned other people that the unthinkable talking would sometimes cost his head, but because he spoke too much all the time, would he like to write his thoughts to the paper, because that eliminated the possibility to tell selective parts of those thoughts for other persons.


I think that René as I sometimes call this philosopher was not the very impressive man, and because he wrote his ideas to the paper, would other persons see the things, what he thought. All thought must be seen better than some parts of those thoughts. During his life, there might be millions of words, what this man, who was Frenchman and lived in Sweden have said, and sometimes those persons met the man or woman, who took only two words of this man's work, and then they delivered those words to everybody.


That would have seemed quite interesting in the eyes of Descartes because two words don't make anybody worse than they really are. We have all been children, and in that time, we have said many words, what were not clever. But if somebody says, that I saw two unthinkable words at the age of 12, I would think that person would be some way different than the normal person. Those kinds of persons sometimes come to the table of the men like Descartes. They would not remember anything than those two words, and that seems very nice in their own eyes.


But when people are coming to the age of 43, they would say also something else, than just those two words. This is the thing, what might be interesting in the mind of René Descartes. Those words were not everything, what he said even in those ages, and when we are thinking about the famous words  "I think, therefore I am", we should think, does Descartes say those words to the person, who suspected his right to be in somewhere like University?


Or is he the right person for his duties? Then this person asks, does Descartes think, that he is clever, he might say, that thinking is the way to show the right to be in the place, where thinkers are studying. Maybe this suspicious person has kept the course book all the time in the command, and then this person would ask Descartes, how he could do the exam.  And then Descartes said, that he put the paper his own ideas. This is one way to think about the place in the society.


Because some people have existed, they have right to be in the places, where they have made the pass-test, what has been accepted. When we are thinking about the University, there would be millions of people, whoever writes their own ideas. They just lend the books from the library and then copy those thoughts from the books to their works.  René Descartes is the very interesting person, and he is very good character both fictional and scientific writings. And the words are free, and some writer would write the book, where the main character would be this famous philosopher. This is free land, and people have right to use their own words in the writings. In philosophy is no need to proof the words what have been written, what gives the freedom for making the texts, and tell our opinions for other persons.

I think I exist, and if I'm punished for my texts, I exist for some powerful man

René Descartes said once, that if the human being thinks that makes this person existed. In his lifetime, normal or ordinary people did not exist for rulers of the nations. And everything, that said against the king or rulers was the straight attack against the god. If we think this way, everybody who says something against rulers exists only when they are punished.


When we are following the way of thinking, what Descartes followed, we must say that if somebody makes texts or makes speeches, what means nothing, we must ask a question "why this person would punish"? If writing means nothing, the consequences must be nothing? So what in some writings or speeches is so harmful, that the king gives the order to arrest that text maker. Why poor philosopher causes the situation, that all nation must change the laws in the country?


When people make the own writings,  this person must have the capacity to think about those things. And that kind of writings might be harmful to people, that believe that person must keep quiet when somebody would not ask something about that person. Only persons who have right to speak or write something, are superiority officers. And the role of henchmen is to keep their mouth shut, when their leaders are speaking.


When the person raises to a very high-rank official, would the orders, what this person gives become so-called common orders. This might cause some misunderstandings because that kind of person is above everything. Normal man or woman can't say or do anything, what might harm that superiority official.


And if some worker would say something bad about this very high-rank businessman, would that cause the situation, that this person must step down from the tower, and say something about this case to that worker. In this case would look very funny, that some main director of enterprise corporation kicks this worker off. And in this case, would happen that the director would give common orders, that the doors of the company will be closed for the person, who is from some city or state. This means that the director wants to make generic orders for hiring the position. Those high ranking officials of the private or public sectors might sometimes hide behind orders, what are given to all industry. This means, that this person would just walk away if somebody says or does something bad about that person who might be king of the state.


Soon comes to the orders to kick off 3000 persons from their working place, because somebody said that the slips, what this boss used was not very good looking. So that kind of thing might cause the situation, that thousands of workers would kick off or something like that would happen. This is how powerful men are working in real life. And also everybody, who writes about those things, should be quiet because they would not find the jobs from those companies.
