IN MATTERS OF JUDGEMENT

...wrote a poem on the way to work this morning ...simply dealing with the "definition of Self" conundrum as initiated by Descartes and his mind/body dualism and as answered by John MacMurray and as painfully experienced by every thinking Westerner ever since... it's simple but pure - but heck, i'm not a poet - so there. :)


IN MATTERS OF JUDGEMENT
(breaking out of the knot-thought mess of Descartes)

It's what I do
Not what I say [that matters]
It's what I say
Not what I feel
It's what I feel
Not what I think

(what I think hardly matters)

What I do
Is what I am
And what I am
Is what I do

I do therefore I am
