Who are we?

I like to make films and I make random pieces of art. I’m very honest with people but I also think that I don't talk enough. I’m very religious but I don't know if god is real. I wonder why we are ruled by little pieces of paper that has numbers on it. I am who I am but I don’t know why. It’s also very hard for me to give you a straight answer on who I am or who you are because our brains don’t work in that way. While writing this paper I consider what I could possibly put to make you see the way I see things. All of these thoughts lead up to the main reason why I’m writing this...Who are we?

Well let's go back to when you were conceived. Do you remember anything about your birth? Most likely not because as a child your brain cannot comprehend anything. You start out blind to the world, not knowing anything about how life works. As we move farther and farther along though you start gaining knowledge. Knowledge that will get you closer to understanding why you're here. The human race is a very interesting topic. Nobody knows why we were put on this planet. Nobody knows who put us on this planet. We start to make up religions to come up with answers to those questions but it only brings us to more confusion. I know you like to think that your thoughts are your own but they're not. Every argument or conflict that you've had means nothing. It's like a void in outer space, we all are just creations of random science stuff. The “stuff” is whatever you want it to be.

Now to answer the question that has been on everyone's mind, who are we? Well the answer to that question is entirely up to you. Honestly, who you are entirely relies on how you carry yourself through this world. You can choose to follow the rules or break them. You can literally do whatever you want because our time is limited on this planet. Do you ever think about what happens when you die? There are so many questions that go unanswered because you are the only one that can decide that. I wrote this essay to explain to you that life is what you make it. Just live life. All of these thoughts about these questions don’t matter. What matters is how you spend it.
