As I have matured and graced the threshold of adulthood I have continued to cling to this wisdom. Still, it puzzles me. Can such a creation be true? If so is there any justification for his being? I have came to the point where it does not bother my knowledge. Instead I have chosen to live as I see fit and what is considered just. Various applications of thought have rested on this since the beginning of time. Rene Descartes, a renowned scholar of philosophy, has also hypothesized such views.
