Philosophers Are Adults Who Persist In Asking

I Wish My Life And Decisions To Depend Upon Myself, Not On External Forces Of Whatever Kind. I Wish To Be The Instrument Of My Own, Not Other Men's, Acts Of Will. I Wish To Be The Subject, Not An Object...i Wish To Be Somebody, Not Nobody; A Doer - Deciding, Not Being Decided For, Slef-directed And Not Acted Upon By External Nature Or By Other Men As If I Were A Thing, Or An Animal, Or A Slave Incapable Of Playing A Human Role, That Is, Of Conceiving Goals And Policies Of My Own And Realizing Them.
