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?.
Good post. I liked how you used a general question and not only answered it but connected to it on a personal level. I agree with your take on Banach's lecture because just as he perceives us to be complete individuals i find that everyone being labeled as individuals is so that everyone's differences are seen even greater. i liked how you showed that answering the question made from Banach's lecture was only difficult enough to create a new question to answer it. Maybe you could try finding a connection between the question you made to Mara's question that captured your attention so much, then restate your main idea. it made me think about how my life has been led so far, and after a conclusion i decided that it is possible for my life to have come down this road compared to the other doors i couldve walked through long ago in life, such as Instead of going to public High School if i chose to stay in catholic school, and went there for High school. Much would be different for me. Great post, great thoughts.
