             Who am I and how did I get here?.
            
             I am the sum total of my parts, but this answer is vague at best. What are the parts of which I spoke? Well my physical body is a part and the condition it is in. My home and the environment in which I live, is another part of me. My experiences are a third part of me as a whole. The beliefs that I hold true and the knowledge that I use in determining what is true and false, what is right and wrong, and what is good and bad.
             How did I get here? Good question, my best answer is through experimentation in my person and my environment. Here is a simple explanation of what I mean. As a child I learned through observation (i.e. mother comes when I cry), theory (i.e. mother will come when I cry), experimentation (i.e. cry), results. Based on the results you revise and restate your theory until you come to a conclusion. You start then to make correlations to your larger environment and your new experiments include other variables in your environment until you discover the underling rules in certain situations. My belief system or what I have faith in is an amalgamation of research and the beliefs of those in my environment closest to me.
             2. What judgments have I made based on perception alone?.
             I know that I must have made a number of judgments based on what seems to be perception alone, but this is a sort of difficult question to answer. The first question to answer is what is perception? Perception is the process of recognizing certain stimuli and pulling knowledge taken from memory into use. An example: once in your life you touched a hot stove and took from that the knowledge that the stove is hot and that the heat causes injury. So when your house catches on fire and you reach for the hot door handle you stop after the perception of the heat has jogged the fore-mentioned memory. You are then making decisions on things based on your previous experiences that have been proven.
