"أنا أفكر إذن أنا موجود"
— Rene Descartes

Simplified Meaning:
The quote means "I think, therefore I am." It means that if you can think, it proves you exist. Imagine you are wondering if anything around you is real. You might doubt everything, like your surroundings or even what you see and hear. But the fact that you are thinking these doubts shows you exist. This idea tells us our thoughts are proof of our existence. When you question or think about something, you confirm you are real because you are having those thoughts. For example, if you wonder, "Am I dreaming right now?" that very question means you must exist to ask it. This can help you trust your ability to think and understand the world.
