I've always thought that that world-view was bleak and depressing, with it's implication that I am something other than that which I identify as, and not only something other, but something vast and cosmically incomprehensible. Horrifying, really. It's also the only end I can ever seem to come to when I contemplate such things. So if I'm feeling paranoid and depressed it's usually because I've been pondering philosophy.

I suppose I like the idea that there is meaning and distinctness to my personal perceptual existence as opposed to the otherness, however illogical it might be.
TurnyBright Reviewed by TurnyBright on . What I learned on April 20th..... All of us, (human beings, animals, plants), - all living organisms are one with our universe, not just spiritually, but physically as well. Our body is made from the same elements of this planet, clear evidence we are as much connected to this planet as is any tree blowing in the wind. Our consciousness is not of our own, but is rather the universe's attempt to be aware of itself. We are the living consciousness of the very same universe we have trouble explaining. Why else is the question, Rating: 5
