How do we know?
One thing that was mentioned in class when discussing Wordsworth, was the "fact" that when we're born, we forget everything we knew when we were born. My question, is how do we know that we knew anything to begin with? If we forget everything when we're born, does that necessarily mean that we knew anything at all? Is it possible that we didn't forget anything because there was nothing to forget? We all believe in life after death, so does this statement suggest that there's life before life?

I thought about that when we were discussing it in class and it seems kinda crazy to think that we forgot everything from before birth, because we would have no way of knowing that we ever actually knew anything.
