My name's Daniel, though my friends have lately been calling me Negrete(say it with me, nuh-gret-E), I'm 20. I think differently than most; I'm interested in philosophies, I'm not religious, I don't believe in the concept of religion, as Ben Franklin said, "To see by the way of Faith is to shut the eye of reason". Message me of you wanna talk, I'm usually down to talk about anything; randomness is always fun. Also, if you feel like doing something constructive, research the history of Fascism and compare it with what is going on in America. I'm in Naples, Italy right now for 2 years, I'll see ya when I get back. AIM = rufio583Imagine, if you will for a moment, that living on the surface of the earth was like living among the fur on the back of a rabbit. The majority of us would probably prefer to nestle into the warmth and security of the fur, living out our days comfortably, naive and relatively unscathed. It is the responsibility, however, of the philosopher to make that treacherous journey out to the end of the fur, climbing higher and further, clutching desperately to each increasingly thinning stock of hair as they swing and sway wildly. The reward for all this peril, for the philosopher and for the people wiling to indulge him/her is the sight of the “great magician†as he pulls out the rabbit from his hat, to be witness to the great magic trick that IS the universe and for the ability to yell back to the surface, “Ladies and Gentlemen, we are floating in space!â€â€¦ For at that moment, once we’ve distanced ourselves from the safety nets of our everyday lives… Only then can we see the true nature of our surroundings and ourselves.
