Philosophy

I think therefor I am...to be or not to be...but what is the nature of being?

These are all questions that I used to think about a lot. Now that I am in a philosophy class and I'm reading about all of this type of thinking, I thought I'd really get into it. I'm not. In fact, I don't like it at all. The reading is hard and gives me a headache.

Maybe I've let my mind get lazy. Perhaps I have bound myself to the reality that we know and I'm just less willing to question that now. My theory, however, is that I just don't give a rats butt what the nature of being is anymore. I'm not planning on being a philosopher or a scientist of any type, so some things I've just come to accept as how they are and that's that. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a thinker, I just like to focus my mental energy on things that actually matter to me :)
