You think, therefore, I am?

I was extremely touched and inspired by your words. They were quite deep and ponderable. Thank you for the time you spent in sending them to me as well for having thought well enough to send them to me.

Although I consider the thoughts of others as they apply to me directly, I try not to worry too greatly about those opinions. I mean, I know who I am and what I represent. I don't need or I don't count on the opinions of others to decide my self-value or my self-worth.

I am because I think that I am. Some might think that I am because they think that I am. Yes to them, I am what they think, having created in their own minds what it is that they believe I am or who/what they think I "should" be - this is all based on whatever they need at any given time, always being subject to change depending on their immediate moods or needs.

But to me all of the thoughts of others about me are abstract and unreal as to what is considered real in my own mind. I am because "I" think that I am. Again, as is true in the minds of others, "They" think, therefore, I am.
