With all due respect, I don't understand why this is the case. I am curious as to why would I need to make such a case, as I don't see how that is relevant at all to my question. Do you mean something synonymous with a statement of purpose? Is this a standard procedure in order to post on this forum as some sort of rite of passage?

I've always known why I've wanted a BA in Philosophy. In fact, I intend to aim even higher than that. Questions regarding the nature of consciousness, reality, time, ethics and the nature of the self have always fascinated and intrigued me. I left my previous job for this, and I am yet a young man with motivations and goals. Beyond that, I honestly cannot understand why I'd need to elaborate further. Edit: I hope I don't come across as passive-aggressive, for that is truly not my intention.

Thanks for letting me know, I've uploaded it to Google drive.
