THE TRUTH OF REASON

Hello Tamana Munpri fans, once I'm starting a new topic for this week, and is called THE REASON.

How do we know the things we know? From where we get the information? It is true the things we know or what people say?
When we saw the topic of the reason in philosophy class, I made these questions, how we know that is true the things we know? Many things we know because of our parents, of the school, and we trust that all that things are true. Also we know things experimenting, for example, in theory we know that the fire burn, but we needed to approach to the fire to burn and to know the truth that the fire burns us.

The reason is something that all humans have in common, although everyone develop it different. I think that the reason is linked with the truth because when someone tells us something that is truth, we, based on our knowledge, use the reason to check if it is true or not. For something to be true, everyone should have the use of reason, if you are with someone that is not reasonable but you are and someone tell you something that is true, maybe is true for you, but for the other person not, although, everyone think different, so for that person may not be true.

I think that to make questions we need to know the subject; someone who completely ignores the subject cannot ask questions, because minimum should know the word to ask it meaning. And making questions about the topic we can know the truth about we are talking about.

death

Death is a big part of us, beacause is just what define the way that we are going to enjoy life. If we didn´t know that or time is going to finish we shouldn´t have to make things to be remember, we will only live to live; but to know that we are going to die we want to be remember for something important.
It always going to be important to think about death, because it really makes us be who we are; like i said before we always want to be remember for something especial. There are many exaples of people that really come true that dream, death is our motor and i know it really sounds cruel, but is just what i belive.
Death is something painful when we are talking about a person that is part of your family; i never knew how painful could this be, i really pass through many family deaths but i never knew that this hurt so much. I really think that your death is not as painful for you as the way it is for your relatives.
There are many parents that would like to give their lifes just to safe there sick childs lifes, but death just as the book says death is intranferable, we can´t die for other people because don´t matter what we do we will always going to die sonner or later. Like all the things life is a cycle, and every cycle has it end; the end for life is death. I really wouldn´t like to be inmortal, i really think it would be so boring.

Death

Death
Everyone its going to die, sooner or later but we all going to die. i do belive in life after death, im a catholic so i believe God is waiting for all of us; some pople does not belives in life afer death and that's fine because we all have diferent perceptions of death. I do not belive in reincarnation, but i will find out if my beliefs were rigth or wrong when i die. we all have a day and a time to die, when its your turn even if you take off and when it isn't even if you put. i think that everyone has its own death you can´t trade or change it with anyone and no one can die for you; well if someone dies for you the only thing he or she is doing is giving you more life time, but at the end you are going to die either way. im not afraid to death, well maybe i say this because i see death far away , but rigth now im not afraid to die, im curios to know whats next but my curiosity can wait, i want to live many years (well not too much but i want to see my grandchildren grow up). i think the idea of death makes us enjoy life and try to be better, because if we don´t die maybe we wouldn´t want to do anything because we would have all the time of the world to do whatever we want; and as the book says we wouldn't make things to trascend (trascender) among time,maybe humans haden't invented everything they had. so this is another reason of why we NEED death. and after all this i conclude that we shouldn't be thinking about death, we should be enjoing life not loosing time thinking in what´s next. BE HAPPY =)

DEATH

Hello guys. Today, I'm starting a new topic for this week: DEATH.

Death is something very curious, but is something very natural. Someday death comes to everyone, being old, young, or even children. It comes in any form, for example, we can get sick of something very serious that cause us death, or it can happens an accident like a fire, a car crash, etc.

When I read the second chapter of the book “Las preguntas de la vida” by Fernando Savater (by the way talks about death), it made me think a lot about this subject. It mentions that people are afraid to die, but why people have that fear? As I mentioned, death is something natural, it will happens to everyone in any moment. Something that also mentioned is that death is individual; it cannot be passed to another person.

Many times we say “You save my life”. In fact, this phrase is wrong because in reality the only thing is that it only prolongs the life, because in any moment you have to die and nobody can escape it, no one is inmortal.

Since we born, since our first day of life, we are in danger of death, we always are close to death. On any day we leave our home like a normal day and we can never come back.

To finish this post, I was navigating in the internet and I found this picture with this little story:

Death stood before a landowner to take him away, indicating his time was up. Then the landowner tried to buy with the half of his fortune an hour of time of his life, but death refused to accept the deal. Then he made a second offer: all his fortune for one minute more of life. The death’s response was another no.

Thus was the lesson that we must use our time in life, because when our time comes, not all the money in the world allows us to live one more minute.

Intro..

Philosophy.. so, what is that? What is that weird topic nobody wants totalk about? No, I'm not taling about how babies come to this world, is something way less complicated, or maybe more, it always depend on how you think about it.
It comes from the greek words phil meaning "love" and sophy meaning "wisdom", so greek people loved wisdom, at least their philosophers are the most remembered people of that culture, or you remember Hestia, well he was the god of the sun, one of the important members of all greeks culture, religion, and of whom depended lots of greek lifes and, at least I, before looking for his name, never imaginede ho was. But what about Aristoteles, Socrates, Pitagoras (you cant tell me you dont remember him after all those math classes), you all know who were them and at least something they said.
Philosophy is just an exotic word that someone invented to refer to a profound thinking about almost anything, any common issue in life, you can mess it up thinking as a philosopher, and many complicated issues, you can solve them by thining the same way, it all depends on what's on you mind in that moment.
Here is where the example of "All i know is I now nothing", a philosophic thought of Socrates. Without thnking about it you could say, well, study something, or, the first step is to accept it, but if you go deeper on the meaning of this phrase you getto the concusion that you cannot have a the knowlage of the universe, there would always be something to learn, it changes don't you think so?
Philosophy is important to study because is a way to learn how to think deeper, and, why should I do that? because everything in this world is way different if you thin two times about it, maby not philosophicly, but at least two times, people are complex as the world surrounding them, from the smallest and simplest particle to the composition of the whole universe is a theme you can think about, and you can reconsider to study it at least this only time, than just let it go as one class more.

To end this paragraph, that maybe you think is boring, ugly and meaningless, or maybe you thin it has something that you had never considered I will give you a reflection I had while I was writting it.
Sophie's World, the book other classes have as text book may not be what you where expecting, because you thin about a girl named sophie and her world, but if you go back to the meaning of philosophy phil and SOPHY you will understand it refers to the world of WISDOM;). Or maybe not and it is about a girl named sophie. I just don't know.

philosophy

Philosophy is a weird term, you can´t define it very well. Ithink we do not use philosophy for our daily life, but it help us to learn to think and question everything. philosophy teach us to analyze things we do every day and we don't realize we don't know the real meaning of things such as death, life, gravity, why do we exist?, why do animals are on earth?, are we the only living things on all the universe?.... and i could continue asking questions that make us think; but it does not really matters. whats the difference if we know why do we exist? it does not really matters we would still be people and thats all , it is not a big deal. but on the other hand of all this kind of dumb questions we could make a really good and intersting question that could change many things such as gravity. philosophy is like the first step to do big things, but for daily thinking it has not a lot of importance. i like philosophy because its intersting to think about things i have never questioned. Now, the ONLY thing i'm sure about is that i know nothing. there are too many things i donn't know that i would change everything i know for all the things i don't know. that´s what philosophy is about.
