Rene Descartes - one of my favorites

 I will not deny that Descartes is one of my favorites in the field of philosophy.   His position of contesting the value of teaching only Aristotelianism as the best form of reasoning and his disputes with contemporary to him Theologians brought me to read him and try to understand him.  While his method of reasoning based on mathematics is a struggle for me as much as the ones based on Aristotle, I am more comfortable with his.  As I dove into his writings in a mild manner, not really digging into them, I found myself attracted to his meditation, the six mediations.  The first one attracted me the most - Able to have doubts.

Now granted I did not do a deep dive and try to understand all the nuances of this meditation, but it resonated with me.  I have many doubts about many things.  Religion, philosophy, my life, and why I have gotten breaks, do I deserve breaks.  Deeper one like does God exist or should even be a concern.  This has led me to start rereading his mediations and the decision to post my thoughts here as I do.
