Who Am I? Where Did The World Come From?

So, I sit here in my quiet house, all alone. I am beginning my semester work trying to get a jump on things while the rest of my family is busy somewhere outside the house.

I look at the first assignment due in my Philosophy class and immediately hit into a brick wall. Two simple questions: Who am I? Where did the world come from? These questions seem quite simple and easy to answer; and, truth be told, I could probably answer each in one small sentence.

Who am I? Why, I'm Tracy, of course!

Where did the world come from? God, of course.

These answers, however, seem to be cheating somewhat. Although my glib answers above are true, they are not complete. I could, if pressed, turn those two simple questions into an essay of multiple pages. I could explore all my thoughts on who I really am and the reasons for my being. I could delve into the creation of Heaven and Earth. Ahhhhh, now I'm philosophizing!

So, here I sit, blogging instead of doing some constructive school work. Maybe that is the area that REALLY needs delving into....

Ok, back to work now. I'll share some answers when I figure them out.

Chat soon.
xoxo
