Hey there
I'm here because I enjoy rational conversations, an enjoy trying to make sense of myself and the world. Philosophy has been a useful tool for me and has liberated me from prior self-degradations (maybe I'm doing it for the wrong reasons.?) but I value truth, I am fallible and love to ponder this thing which we all find ourselves. I have made some terrible decisions in my life, and finding philosophy has helped me to think rationally when decision making. Growing up in my household, both my parents were/are psychologically imbalanced (if that is the correct phraseology), my mother a paranoid schizophrenic and my father a military man traumatised from his experience in the Falklands. Philosophy has brought me into the 'thinking realm' and has helped me to understand my childhood in hindsight. I am uncertain of nearly everything and this is becoming a problem for me, and for this philosophy has not helped as one could imagine.
