Why are you? This is a question that for some, dare I say many, can cause an existential crisis unlike the human mind has ever seen. Its such a short, yet complex question, because its not why do you exist or what is your purpose in life, no, its why are you everything and anything. Its a conundrum that can boggle your mind and Ive found that its the greatest variable of all time because in just that one quick question, that short sentence we prove that we are capable of almost anything. Of the relatively infinite amount of different choices we face every day, more so every second, a separate outcome for each action is the result of our decisions. Imagine that for a moment -- where would you be right now if you had said yes to one question you originally said no to one year ago? How big can one decision impact your entire life? We as intelligent creatures like to believe we are sentient and by that standard are gifted with the beauty of free will. But why then, do we conclude that everything happens for a reason? If this is so, could we not one day calculate what you will do 10 minutes from the end of this question? We call this phenomena the butterfly effect, but to this effect all we can really conclude at this point is that some things are out of our control, and we must accept that simple fact before we can move on. An event in your life could have been set in motion decades before you were ever born, but because we have free will we have the ability to set in motion our own butterfly effects. A fork in the road of life if you will. We can chose to let something drag us down to the pits of hell with it, or we can fight till the bitter end to construct a viable solution. As free thinking creatures its well without our limitations to do so. All this being said, its almost undeniably true that we can make life whatever we want it to be. Why are you -- this is a question that puts into perspective that we can do anything we put our minds to.
