Truth and Reality

The reality that we know can never be proven as 'Truth.' As Descartes once said, "I think, therefore, I am." in his famous argument that there if few things we can believe. We can not believe our senses, with a good example being placing a rod of wood into water. The wood will looked curved, but feel straight. We can not trust are experiences. As Descartes said,"There are sure signs by means of which being awake can be distinguished from being asleep." Descartes posed the idea of a man, or force in general, that have plagued us with mistruth. As absurd as it sounds, there is no way to disprove this or prove of our own existence. Descartes began to doubt his own existence, thus creating the famous quote of, "I think, therefore, I am." Meaning he had a thought, making him the thought that he thunked.
