[automatic existence]

Well, well. I was afraid you where a happy go lucky kind of guy. But i see we might have close to the same goals but very different reasons. I am also in a period of consuming every bit of information thats in my way. But I only do it to understand my self, I am not doing it for pleasure or for anyone else. Only to find out the aspects of reality. And I see how short we have come on that quest. But still we have to use what we have.

I have come under the impression that humans are, not like Rousseau thought born free, but actually born in chains. The way we think, the way we percive is very much determined by other factors then ourselves. We have very little control over ourselves which again means that we are close to automatic creatures, which puts us in the same position as normal animals. But, and its a big but, we have the power to break free of those chains. But that is a demanding task, and very rarely undertaken.

But I seem to be on my way to try and do so. And as you might have discovered I am 16, but then its only a couple of days before I am another year older. You see, time has no mercy.

At the end, out of curiousity, why would you wish to "hope to spread this knowledge to generations?"

Edit: It looks like we`ll meet in other places so no need to continue this thread any further after your answer here.
