Living in this world there are so many unsolved answers. We keep asking questions but never really get answers. What makes us who we are? What makes us see what we see and do what we do and feel what we feel? How are we able to adapt to our societies? What separates us as being individuals?
When reading Banachs’ lecture he believe that “Essence Precedes Existence” which is basically saying that our spirit comes before who we become and before our appearance. And I agree with him. I believe that our spirit comes before our existence. I believe that we are orb/spirits trapped in a body for existence. I feel that once we exist we learn to become who we are as time goes by. We choose the way we live and how we live it.
Do you think that in our society everyone is fake in some ways? I personally feel that everyone is fake in our society because we change roles and how we act with certain people. We don't get the opportunity to act our self. With our parents we are respectful. With friends we are playful and is kind of disrespectful. And etc. changing how we are with different people is not being real. We are posers. Fake. Others identify us on how we act.
When it come to freedom I don’t think we are free at all. I believe that if our spirits comes before our existence then our spirits are trapped in our body which is not free. Our spirits is not free. “What is the point of total freedom? Wouldn’t it make the world worse?” –Julie. I feel that if we did have total freedom the world wouldn’t be safe at all. No authority would be involve, crime rate would increase and people would take advantage of it.
I enjoyed reading Banach’s lecture but there are so many opinions and unsolved questions. Life is a questionable thing.

This post is really interesting, the opening line is really great, "Living in this world there are so many unsolved answers." because it connects to what the lecture is about and it makes me think.
ReplyDeleteI like that you agree and then you explain why you agree. I think that for this point I also agree with what Banach is saying. That we are born and then we basically control what comes after that.
Do you think that makes all humans identical in a way? Because we all have on belief, do you think that makes us individuals or do we stand alone?
I agree when you say that we are not free. I think that there are many things that go against us being free. Banach tries desprately to prove that we are free but in fact we are not. But somehow it all connects to us being individuals who make our own nature.
This post was really interesting, it made me think of things that I had not realized when I was reading the lecture.
