A Word of thanks.

I think it is often overlooked that what makes this community both unique and very strong is that a majority of its Members want to contribute to its spirit of co-operation in diffusing knowledge and perspectives, and in doing so with some courtesy and respect towards one another.
That is why I joined, and that is why I remain.

I joined the forum because I saw what could potentially be the strongest example of philosophy in action. Real philosophy outside the realm of the classroom and its isolation from the real world. As a philosophy student, the classroom can suck the life out of my inner philosopher and deflate my enthusiasm for philosophy, but witnessing people trying to make sense of the world for themselves quickly negates that effect.

Anyway, your gratitude is a reflection of the strength of this growing community of philosophers. Due to the nature of the mind and how it progresses over time, many future conversations should be rather interesting.

By the way, where did this quote come from: "It is not so important to prove our immortality, but it is imperative to believe as though we are."?

Thanks, for asking. That little bit of wisdom is all mine.

It is precisely your kind of thinking that the world needs. And remember that some of the greatest thinkers of all time were also autodidacts.
