hw the Ethics of absolute freedom.

What is happiness?


Are we free?



I think happiness is what we find within ourselves & at times from some people, is when you put a smile on your face and there’s a meaning to it " a true" meaning and not just a fake smile but a real one. But if a friend was giving the courage to one of her classmates to do something after school, and the classmate found the courage to do it, and the classmate found her self happy getting herself to do something after school. Isn’t that finding happiness within ourselves and from someone else?.

Freedom is beyond Too much. Can’t be categorizes as one thing.

Im not sure if we are free? What Stephanie pointed out in class since the day we are born we were automatically taught what is right and what is wrong and how things should be seen. I also think that the outside world and ourselves is what makes freedom we have the freedom in our minds and thoughts but I think the outside world is what give us our thoughts to think beyond within ourselves. We have the freedom to a certain extant because we are not just living in some random place they are limits to what people can and can not do and if people chose not to fallow there will be consequences. So can we say we have freedom? Or do we have freedom? Or just limit freedom?

I think David Banach is a very interesting guy his thoughts and writing makes you think outside "the box" but not only does he makes you think but makes a person questions a lot of things about life. Then what made this guy think of these ideas? did someone inspired or did he came up with it on his own.?

Would you say that figuring out who you are has to do with the meaning of life?- Mara

When I first read this , the first thing that came to thought were all the things that happened to me and how those experiences help me grow as a person and made me realize I at least know who I am as a person and there are more years to learn about myself. But it is not the same for everybody to realize who they are as a person it cant take someone years to figure that out or maybe there will never know!? that sounds scary!. Or will we ever completely know who we are as a person?.This goes into David Banach and his views of individuals are alone in the world because although he says know one cant understand you but yourself so then that goes into figuring out who you are is that just the meaning of life? because know one understands you? but maybe people do really understand? if we have friends isn't because they understand us as a person.

Is what you see on the outside is not really who you are in the inside. true or false? I believe that's false! sine us human have eyes and communicate with other people what the outside world bring to us individuals does make you who are because we grow and learn from other people and our surroundings. If everything was blank!, and had no meaning will us individuals make so it had a meaning and if we was to make something had meaning then wouldn't that mean what we see in front f us with our eyes does make us who we are on the inside. This also makes me question are we living or simply existing?-Arisa this is a kinda of a hard question but interesting one, I think we are both or people put themselves into both categories because I consider my self living because I breath,eat,sleep and since I changed from being a baby to a full grown person then yes! I have been living. If I was just existing then it wouldn't be a point me being in the world or would they be? but then wouldn't that mean I will be more than just existing?.

From Amanda's post, her questioning who is David Banach to tell people what they should think and how people should view things, then what does he think of him self and his family members and the people that were in his life?. Did they effect him in anyway? did something happen to him to think this way?.

Banach- "we are Absolute individuals".

I do agree with this quote because everyone as their own mind and way of thinking, this goes into people go what they feel or what makes them think that way,I think when people don't tend to go with what they feel, they either feel guilty or disappointed in themselves. I know this because when I feel unsure of an answer and I tend to go to someone for help, and if I do go for what the other person told me at times I wish I should have chosen my own answer. Banach Said " we feel our pains, our own pleasures,our hopes and our fears immediately, subjectively,from the inside". From What I understand from this Quote is that we have our own emotions and ideas. because of that Ithink when individuals don't go for what they want at times it backfires on us.

...........

I think Banach is right and wrong about we are completely are alone in this world and it been like that for many years. But humans tend to do think of each other and our economy has grown a lot because we tend to help people and make things happen in our world , so its like we do think of ourself but then again we don't. Yes I do believe that we are invdividnals and that a mind belongs to one person and one person only. but then what makes our minds make us do certain things? so what controls us more our minds or our feelings?.At the the end of day people just do think of themselves and if some indiviuals dont.. then why do people say " You need to stop and just think of yourself"?. its like we were made just to think of ourselfs in any situation.
