If I were René Descartes, I would think the self is "a thinking thing." This means the self is mainly my mind or the part that thinks and knows, not the body. The most important thing is that I think, so I know I exist. For example, when I am sitting alone and wondering if I am real, I can be sure that because I am thinking, I am real.In my daily life, this means when I feel tired or my body feels bad, I know my true self is still my mind. If I face problems, I will use my thinking to find solutions, because my mind is the real me. I believe that even if my body is weak, my mind is strong because it can think and understand.Gawaka nang sariling katang isip means to respect your own mind or thinking. It fits well with Descartes’ idea that the self is your thinking and knowing part. So, I always try to think clearly and understand things well because that is my real self[tex].[/tex]
