Why are You Here?" I have fallen short in many ways towards the goals that I have made in my life. No matter how high the standard is set‚ and whether failure awaits me‚ perseverance and my faith will carry me on. Some would label me as a dreamer. Someone could say I have reality to face‚ but without dreams we have no hope‚ and without hope we have nothing inside of us to fuel our deep passion to succeed and win the race that we have been running.

WHY AM I ME This question has been bugging me lately and I find it very intriguing. What is consciousness?
