This is a letter from DklmreaeaFml to Drake. He answers some of the questions Drake had, and adds his own thoughts. This is part four.
Drake,
You are one crazy kid. You think. I think. You could be strange, but then would I be strange? The human race has great potential. The apes have a great meaning. What do I mean? What do you mean? Is there a reason that you and I are here? I ask myself many questions. Do I ask myself too much? Do I require too much of myself?
For many years wisdom grew within me. I harvested the wisdom within me. I praised the wisdom within me. More, above all, I try to share my wisdom. My child, I know of a teacher of philosophy. A teacher with wisdom. A teacher with extraordinary experience. Over the years, I gained much experience. I have amazing memories. I learned so much over the years. My level of knowledge is great, very great. Time is a wonderful gift. I wish I have much more time.
Son, I am dying. I am on my death bed. Child, the age of which I am at is ninety six. I am old. You are young. I repeat I am eons old; better yet I am millenniums old. I am wise. I know things. I am greatly respected among my people. Greatly respected among my home. I am proud. Proud of me. Proud of my rank. I am in the highest class of my home. I have been offered the same rank as Socrates and Plato. I accepted. Child, there is yet another rank. Not exactly a rank. Advancement if you would call it that. Out of the few of us who believe this, some call it an evolution. Others think the ones that go on are of a more advance civilization. More advance species. This is truly one amazing rank. I believe philosophy can get you there.
In time you will find out what my name means. For now, myself will remain unknown to you. A teacher? A teacher of life? A teacher of philosophy? A teacher of all? For life you are on your own. You cannot teach life how to be life. Life cannot tell life how to be life. Life will live itself the way it wants to be lived. A teacher of all can’t be done by one; you need to teach yourself at times. One man nor woman nor creature does not know everything. For philosophy, it’s a different story.
The reason you wrote to me sub-consciously was because you needed a teacher of philosophy, for yourself, and your conscious self.
I can teach you philosophy.
I wish to pass all knowledge I precede down to you. All the knowledge I have inside of you on such an early age will be amazing. Imagine where you will be at my age, child. With all of my knowledge before your even seventeen. Imagine what another eighty years of developing and studying philosophy will get you to. There is much to teach you. There is little time.
Time is precious. The most precious gift of all. Don’t waste it.
Seconds become minutes. Minutes become hours. Hours become days. Days become weeks. Weeks become months. Months will turn into seasons. Season make years. Years become decades. Decades become eons. Eons become millenniums. Don’t waste any time at all. Love time. Cherish time. Live time out. Have fun. Learn. Gain knowledge. Show off. Be you. Develop philosophies. You have the best gift of all. Time is the best gift of all. Time, you cannot gain it back. Once the second has been lived. Its history. It can’t be changed. You can go back in time, but you can’t change anything, because history already happened. History can’t rewrite itself. History can only repeat.
I live and am a citizen of thy kingdom.
Your first philosophy task is to answer a question. A simple but complex question. Who are you?
Answer the question, the best you can, my child.
Believe in yourself. You are perfect.
