Understanding meaning to something
What is all this? World, plants, oxygen, human beings. What is? Have you ever wondered? Are we nothing? Or are we all? What is the meaning of life?
Defining it in an internet search, it is the set of all things that exist and humanity. Any planet, considering that it can house living beings or species similar to the human being, especially the planet earth, as "dwelling" of the human being. These ideas are logical? Instead of assuming it, let’s doubt everything. Philosophy does not assume things, so I’m going to be a philosopher for this essay. So … what is the human being and his "dwelling"?
"Man is understood from the world, but the world is not understood from man".
Using philosophy ..
Aristotle’s "dwelling" is one in which an image of the world based on view impressions arises: "A world of things". Man is one thing among those in the world. Therefore, for Plato, it is "a world of eyes, a world of figures contemplated" and human beings have our own room. However, dualism for St. Augustine was good and evil. The human being is in conflict all his life for this. Modified Kant’s questions in the first person: what is the man you plan to be? Is it necessary to give us our own room to meet ourselves? Do we need so much importance?
Nicolás de Cusa: "Man is the being who knows his situation in the world", his relationship and the world, that is, if we bring an mask in our eyes, aren’t we human beings? I am going to therapy and I was not sure of anything I did and why I still existed, much less from my situation and purpose in the world. I tried to commit suicide, I was completely lost, and I’m still human. I even learned more things and changed my perspective in many others. I did not know my situation and relationship with the world. I’m a human being! .Knowing what we do or why, it sounds very complicated, don’t you think? Why focus on that? So that?
Then … Pascal, Copernicus and Newton arrive to spoil everything: the human being faces two different and infinite universes: the cosmos and the microcosm, we are again homeless, between two infinite and unabarcable worlds. What do we do? So now we are nothing?
Then, another crazy arrives and proposes pantheism: what is that? A home for the human being is no longer necessary, because this is God, since it is everything and we are all. A place to inhabit becomes insulso and unnecessary, therefore, the only thing necessary is the infinite substance: God. That is, that cosmic reality is accepted, between the micro and macro cosmos. Spinoza, basically, explains that we stop being a mystery and reconcile it with the human being through God.
And so I can continue … explaining each of the theories of the human being, but for what? If anyway, no matter how much you are going around, there are failures in the software of the human being, we can even represent the world in different ways and we will not put ourselves to discuss which is correct, because we all have the ability to interpret thethings or situations in different ways, this is what philosophers did. But, after all, we cannot reach a specific response: why? Merleau Ponty told us that the human being is complicated, also, explained that we all belong to the same fabric of the world and, therefore, what we do affects us all. Is it true?
What is the meaning of life, then? Have a very comfortable "abode"? Do not think anything? Think about everything? "I think, then I exist" (Descartes) do we know at least, if we live or is it a dream? What if everything is a dream?
So this is a very real dream, don’t you think? We can cry, laugh and feel, but, after all, what is reality? Do you know her? Is it defined as resilience? What is time? What is space? Reality involves them, isn’t it? Are you sure you are at least living? By the way … what is living? Do you know that feeling?
For Platonism, the meaning of life is in the achievement of a higher form of knowledge, which is the idea (form) of good, of which all the good and fairness obtains utility and value. So, if I’m a criminal, don’t I have a sense of life? Now I understand why there is so much crime, nobody has a sense of life! Human beings, we use different "masks" everywhere, we develop in a different way in different circumstances and situations, we do not do everything good, nor everything fair. The interaction between one environment and another are different, and that is what makes us human, and to all this … what is that being "human"?
The human being is an infinity of things. But how to describe it?
We can progress, achieve human development and this leads to feel self-realized. But one day we feel like that and the other we can be on the last step of the Pyramid of Maslow, in the physiological needs, trying to cope with the day because we are sleepy or we have no money. After all, we are human and this implies to be different every day, sometimes we daw. We have the survival and reproduction instinct.
We can be outgoing or introverted or both. We have different thoughts, sensations and perceptions;at the time of looking at ourselves and turning to see the world and surroundings around us.
Some others have different sexual preferences from those that "we should" have biologically. A different culture and education at home and, in addition, that of our nation. So many, we go to school to receive and issue knowledge. The others do not and live for their few opportunities in the world of illiteracy and ignorance. We are people, but each different and greatly influences the origin and culture to form our personality. Adapt or not, our behavior to this society or do things completely different from most people.
We develop skills and skills. We learn from our mistakes and experience, and we carry out actions that lead to a "good" or a "evil".
We interact with society and use defense mechanisms. We tend to loneliness to self-realize or also to get away from a world that hurts us. The world is there;We hurt ourselves, on many occasions and in many others people, and sometimes the ones we love most. We affect others without apparent reason.
Many, or most, if not, we all accommodate ourselves to adversities and looking inside ourselves: let’s see what I find.
Our motivation to continue, sometimes we can be ourselves, our family and beliefs;God, for example.
We get sick when the cold arrives and even spring. Many have not matured until new notice and others did it early. Some features and behaviors inherit them and many others build them.
The human being can be described from an interaction with society and also for what we are alone;The individual being. None of them cover the totality of the human being, neither for their study, nor at all. This should not be studied because we are ourselves and why study ours. We are so obsessed in dominating all knowledge and structure that we are trying to respond to what exists in its fullness with similarities and differences, to which studies the other things, we are going to therapy for a guide to our difficulties and youYou want to study, as if you weren’t complex enough. Why study and conceptualize what is yourself. What is the point of? It is really absurd.
