*I am* Imperfect_Perfection: Who are you? Such a short sweet question but an infinite amount of responses. Can you describe who you truly are?  Coffrey: Perfect opportunity for a rant It's a good question to ask to interpret their answer, but not necessarily take themselves at their word. Fundamentally, we are totally biased in favor of ourselves, if you want to be smart, you'll say you're brilliant. If you want to be pretty, you'll say you're beautiful, if you want to be funny, you'll say you're incredibly witty, and so on. Ultimately, whatever someone says about themselves, outside of actual facts like "I was in Chicago once", cannot be trusted. You can only know someone after taking all they've said to you, sometimes this can take many months, and interpreting it. As for how I answer this question.... I am nobody.  harlett: well i am a earth bound misfit ..for the moment....& time being .... hmpf.....@Coffrey & Serabi..... you can't be nobody... ya have to add a number behind the name...so that your nobody #???......................then...  you have a body.... soooooh saying your no body is a distortion..what's ya hiding.....about U....other than u think you gripe really well... harlett: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....i'm very dull.....in case ya haven't heard.  deuce916: I am someone who finds it hard to accept christianity in all its various forms. I want to expose it for the lie it is. Other than that I'm very shy, not the life of the party at all. See, I haven't got anything more to say at this time. Typical. DA_NAME'S_DOING: Before I was born I was no-one. Now that I'm alive I'm One. And when I die I will once again be no-one. Farwuq: DA_NAME'S_DOING: Before I was born I was no-one. Now that I'm alive I'm One. And when I die I will once again be no-one. 1 day ago • Report Yet, in the "absolute" sense, you have always existed. According to science; on the atomic/molecular level, you are made of the same "stuff" as the stars or water. Just differing combinations.......... (Post deleted by Stassi SUR ) (Post deleted by Stassi SUR ) Nathaniel Nirvana: simply being. "God" said "I am" so if it's enough then there needs to be no more to that sentence....so just I am, full stop. (Ummm, except sounds a bit, umm.....)  M3lK4t: I am a seeker of knowledge...unfortunately any knowledge i learn is stored away in my memory vault and i cant remember where I put the key Imperfect_Perfection: In response to M3lK4t... Not sure if this random fact is helpful but are you aware that anything learned in an impaired state can only be fully remembered when in an impaired state?... Maybe you left your keys next to your bottle or bong? *Ha ha*  edricleeboneham: I don't think I exsist. I don't think the statement "I am" is anything more than a conciet of convieniance for the things that happen before the eyes that see, and things that think. All "my" thoughts are like things that arise from things thought in the past, and are noticed, acted upon (sometimes), and fade into new things like a river that flows and flows. But each thought I thought was me, is the thought of its own self thinking that thought and fading away into new. It seems like its 99 per cent habits and habitual ways of acting, and 1 per cent real conciencous thoughts that make up an "I am", and even then the awarness is awareness and not a self, thats comes and goes and changes constantly. And yet here is the things that make me up writting this statement, one that will fade away with time into nothing. We are here now, gone tomarrow, what purpose was this life then? Does a self deserve to exsist unless its purpose is to better itself or others , and for what, to make itself real? Nathaniel Nirvana: I mostly agree with you edricleeboneham. I dont think there has to be any 'deserving' to exist tho. The saying goes...the 'I' when sought flees. I think it (we) lack exisistence, but somehow we need to establish a core or reality in ourselves else we'll just disperse away. To me it's being aware of the non-existence of 'reality' & of 'consciousness', we are simply imposing existence on ourselves and objects/the world around us,...yet this implies there is something real in us that we can do this imposing I am......made real by my belief in my own existence edricleeboneham: I AM I am Iam; We the EGO thinks: I am the greatest guy ever, and everyone needs to know about me! I am the best person in the world because I precieve the world through my 5 senses. Everything I think of is original and greater than anything any of you have ever have done period. I am quite possibly god, or at least destined to accomplish great things..... but in REALITY: I work at Mcdonalds to pay off those 188,000,000 dollars of student loans I have after getting my BS degree in Business science from DEvray university, after which I learned that every job I applied for wants 66 years of experiance and a PHD, so I live in a phantasy world online playing WOW 19 hours a day.  haroldguillen: what I am is curious, having room for improvement, asking questions, willing to learn something new, carry this outlook to work everyday, asking what else I could do, what can I do in a short amount of time | Philosophy Chat Room 9 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
