today in social studies, we were talking about Latin phrases and we came up with this question [what a coincidence]. anyways, we came up with this Latin phrase:
"Cogito ergo sum" [english translation: I think, therefore I exist.]
i forget which philosopher it was, but he said this as the answer to the question, "How do we know that this life is real and isn't a dream."
Descartes
Anyway, existence precedes essence in my mind anyway. That's why i don't like that phrase.
