Rene Descartes was the Philosopher who is famous for the saying; "I Think, therefore, I am." Still, some believe we may be nothing more than a part of some grand illusion.
What is reality, and what can explain it best? Is it metaphysical? Are we a part of a something that is beyond nature and who's purpose is influenced by a higher power, or are we a product of the big bang and millions of years of evolution and therefore solely responsible for our own actions and future?
Ultimately, what matters more? Is it how we got here, or where we go from here?

From "The Road to Avarice"
If “I think, therefore I am” Means nothing more than I exist within this space and time Then what use have I for consciousness? Why should we hope, love or care? What cruel joke of life is this? It empowers us to be aware Only to stare at the abyss?"
This is from another song that Jim Shaw and Randy Zahara wrote which did not fit into the scope of the "All We Need to Know" project, but, which is relevant to this thread. You can listen to the full version of "The Road to Avarice" on Soundcloud if you wish.
