Rene Descartes believed that the only thing one can be certain of is one's own existence as a thinking being. While our senses may sometimes deceive us and our thoughts are unreliable, the very fact that we can think and doubt proves that we exist. Descartes' famous quote "I think, therefore I am" establishes that consciousness of one's own thoughts is evidence of one's own being, even if all other knowledge is uncertain.

What does it mean to be me? We can’t always rely to our own
senses since sometimes it misled us. We sometimes thought that doing such a particular thing might help us into becoming a better person. But as we reflect deeper from that thought, we realize that it was not a good idea at all for this could possibly be harmful for us in anyways. As we’re living in this world, I sometimes wonder if afterlife were real. We can only place reliance on our beliefs such us believing on what is written inside the Holy Bible. We couldn’t claim absolute certainty. We never know if such thing existed for none of us has ever proven that there is. There would be nothing we could be sure of. It is just a whirlpool of doubt. Our collective thoughts manifest our world. We all have the free will to choose and create our reality. What becomes our reality is what we think to ourselves. Even there is doubt that existed; it can never deceive me about my existence. “I think, therefor I am” -says Rene Descartes. What we can be more sure of is that no matter how unreliable our thoughts are, these only proves that we exist as a thinking thing.
