The algorithm behind the words

This digital space is, more than anything, a personal attempt to explore my own thoughts. You would think that I'd be aware of them as the inner voice of consciousness is never quiet, but what I usually hear is background noise and raw reactions to events. A stream of unfiltered data activating my neurons, but not a lot more than that. We are often caught in the turbulent flow of daily activities, being constantly distracted and entertained. Many of us focus on an endless chain of tasks and form instant opinions about the reality we're witnessing without a moment of additional reflection. We've become spectators of our own actions and all we can say at the end of the day is that we moved through space and time. That may sound harsh, but that is not necessarily a problem. As I will try to make it very clear in the future, the most precious element of life is the state of well-being, so it is not entirely important whether we are fully aware of the workings of our minds or of the worlds around us, if the state of well-being has been achieved otherwise. However, curiosity is another element which may materialize itself in our brains and that curiosity is the driver behind a number of questions: What guides our movements? What processes were activated when we opened our eyes? Are we aware of the details behind the algorithm of our conscious mind or do we just leave everything contort itself in an impenetrable black-box and delegate our whole existence to it? What is the nature of reality and how can we make sense of it all?

Perhaps you don't recognize yourself, fellow human, in the description above. You may have already acquired some mastery over your own mind or you may find yourself in a state in which answering these questions is not required to reach serenity. Unfortunately, I am lagging behind and I still need to find the pattern in my reasoning and to correct it if required. (Who am I fooling!? It definitely requires correction!) I still need to understand reality (the one within, just as much as the one without) and disentangle the intricacies of the world I find myself in. It is not entirely necessary, of course; I can continue with an unexamined life perfectly well (contrary to Plato, I don't believe it to be worthless). It may even prove to be unattainable. But what else am I to do with my time?!
