Sometimes I wonder...

I wonder... why do we go through the things we do in order to achieve the things we want to? Do we really know what we want? Or has someone told us what we are supposed to want and that is what we then transfer into our minds and learn to accept as truths...

I wonder... how come it is so hard to find love? Why is it seemingly impossible to find the match... or even worst, having found it once, why is it so impossible to think that it might happen again? Why is it difficult to accept that maybe there might be someone willing to love me again?

I wonder... if life is supposed to be so hard? Why we never just cruise? Is it always going to be a struggle? Is it always going to be such an effort to live? Is it always going to take all my energy and effort to manage to survive? To do what I think is right?

I don't have many answers, but I just wonder...

Almost had a shock, but guessing its a pretty good result :)

hihi - not bad hey?



According to the test result text and explanation I am a visionary philosopher:

Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game — to imagine or anticipate what should come next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with great ideas. The timelessness of your vision and the balance between your various skills are what make you a Visionary Philosopher.

In addition to your strengths in math and linguistics, you have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns. These skills and your uncanny ability to detect the underlying blueprint of most of life's situations add to your Visionary Philosopher mind.

Two philosophers who share the same combination of skills you possess are Plato and Benedict Spinoza. Spinoza had insight into how things worked in the world. He could envision a future based on the patterns he saw in life, and used mathematical logic as a structure within which to present his philosophical arguments. With that base he was able to use logic to formulate his theories. Borrowing from his linguistic strengths he wrote eloquent texts and, therefore, was able to bring his philosophical ideas and structure to the rest of the world. His story exemplifies the talents that are present in the Visionary Philosopher intellectual type.

Whatever you decide to do in life, you've got a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a wide variety of ways. You can expand your mind to understand a situation. Your strong balance of math and verbal skills will help you explain things to others. Given your ability to put things together, you are more than capable of inventing a life plan that is in synch with your perspective on how things were, how they are, and how they might be one day.
