Cogito Ergo Sum

Not having time is not my reason. I have enough time. If I felt like blogging, I would have posted one or two in the last couple of months. I did not feel like writing. Don't know why. I don't know why I felt like writing today. No answers, only questions. But I've reduced asking questions to myself.

Earlier I used to wonder what is the meaning of life. I used to think that probably I would know after my marriage. The reason was that I would get a friend for life with whom I can be open and discuss anything and everything in the galaxy. Luckily I got a life-partner with whom I can share my views and ask questions. What he told me was, life itself has no meaning, we have to define it and make it meaningful. Very simple. I have stopped thinking about the meaning of life. Thinking doesn't seem necessary anymore. This blog's title says "Cogito Ergo Sum" - meaning "I think therefore I am". So, if one ceases to think, one ceases to exist. Is it true really?

Why do we have to believe all the quotes. Rene Descartes said Cogito Ergo Sum, because he believed so. I refuse to believe it now. I believe in believing that belief can do things for us. The first book I read in 2011 was "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne and co. Try it out if you are not averse to the so called "self-help" books category. I hate to call it a self-help book because majority of books under that tag make me get head-ache. This Secret one is different. You need to believe in it to feel the difference.!

It is 8:30pm now. Still at office, came late in the morning. Got to leave for home, see you. Enjoy one more long break from me..

Yours truly
