I ...(blank)... Therefore I Am

I Live, Therefore I Am.

This statement, I believe, is very self-explanatory. I am because I live; I live therefore I am. This means that because I have been given the gift of life, I exist. This is only so because I am made of matter. I take up space and, the last time I checked, I did have some volume on me. I am here, I am tangible, and I am visible… well, visibility is an option, you can still exist if you’re under an Invisibility Cloak or cloaking devise of some sort.

I say I Live, so I exist. I do not, repeat, do not mean if something is not alive it doesn’t exist. Most of the matter in the universe is not alive, that’s a fact. There can’t be more living than nonliving things in the universe, there just wouldn’t be enough room to hold the living things. Even, say, if we humans make space stations or something like that to live in, that’s adding more to the nonliving side. If there’s going to be any argument against me that planets and stars and other stuff is alive that are considered “life-less”, then you go right on and think that. I'm just speaking of things most humans consider to not be alive. Anyway, back to what I was saying. Nonliving things can exist, and they do, unless they aren’t made of matter, not tangible, and not even there (unless there invisible). But in this blog, I speak for myself when I say “I Live, Therefore I Am.” For me, living gives me my existence in this present day. If I die, again, and actually stay dead, like dead-not-coming-back-to-life dead, then my saying would have to change, but I don’t know what that’ll be since I haven’t reached that stage of my existence.
