Are there any things in our society now that should be questioned? I believe the correct answer would be: yes. It's always a good idea to question the things you do. Question everything, don't every just blindly follow something without ever wondering why. Everything in this world should be constantly questioned. That leads to innovation, that leads to enlightenment, but more importantly that's what makes it so fun. The world would be a dull place if no one ever questioned anything, if no one ever thought "what if..." if no one wondered "why did I...". That kind of world is about as fun and vibrant as stale bread.
It disgusts me that there are still people that don't question anything and live without ever wondering about the way they're doing things or about the things around them. They never wonder about things and simply go with the flow. That's not living, that's merely existing. By questioning things we can get information about things, amend mistakes that we have or have made, and more importantly it will change our moral compass. Whether you're a die hard environmentalist or a corporate business person you should always question everything that you do and sometimes question the things other people do. Because when you start to wonder, that's when things start to change, that's when things get interesting, and that's when you change the world. While it is true that sometimes you can't think just feel, it is not true that you should not question things. Because the world we know is wholly perceived from our physical five senses and nothing else. So everything is made up of what we think and know. So if you don't question things you'll only ever get to bask in the glory of a small part of this flawed yet flawless world.

Nice truisms and tautologies.
ReplyDeleteThanks I try
ReplyDeleteDo you truly believe that there are people who do not question any part of their existence? Everyone is human. We all think therefore we are. You do not see inside the hearts of all men; you do not begin to glimpse the things they write upon their minds walls. If we do not ponder and question every thing that is, we are not living, we are not changing, we are not real. Despite the sureness with which a person moves, despite the deliberate nature of one's actions, everyone questions something. Not even the most thick and slow of men could fail to wonder about life.
ReplyDeleteWow that was written well. It blows my post right out of the water. I can't wait to see your post. Though I see what you're saying I still think there are people out there that are merely "just there". I won't mention anything at this point however. I'm probably wrong though. I don't really get out much
ReplyDeleteI question every part of existence including what is consciousness. I do not blieve in santanism because it sounds awfully fishy. However, after that "violent" experience with Helen right before math class, I decided that there 5 guidelines all humans follow:
ReplyDelete1. We all make mistakes but some just prefer to make them more disastrous than others.
2. If the rules permits u to do something, perfect. If it doesn't, play another game.
3.Revenge can be pleasant. Some people can brag about it for years.
4. If there are a lot of people doing something, it has to be right-follow the golden rule-majority wins.
5. "If one can live without the influence of the society and all the people in it, he must be a god or a beast"
By the way, sotes, I don't need to be a genius to figure out why u typed,"Not even the most thick and slow of men could fail to wonder about life." It will be excellent if u wish to brag about revenge, but I am sure someone as fluent as you in posing questions can conceal it in a more hidden manner.

ReplyDeleteI am not violent. and you slapped me with your words before I went any where near your glasses. and don't assume what is not there. I am not vengeful nor am I cruel. you are overreacting to a simple and harmless question. although now that you mention it, I will sit back and admire the double meaning that I put into my question without meaning to. btw Sotes,your post was amazing, don't be self-depreciating, it isn't worth your time.
ReplyDeleteSo, we are going from a heated debate into verbally insulting you because I stated that math is every where-how can the language of nature not be every where if we are all surrounded by it?
ReplyDeleteYou know, the other blog is so inactive, I think we should go over there and bug them, but remember, don't double post.
ReplyDeletei don't think that is a very good idea. we should allow them to cultivate their inteligence in their own way and cultivate ours our way. they are every bit as capable as us, only different. Ah, the fact of life that the English along with every other conquering nation should have been aware of.
ReplyDeleteOnly those who are already more advanced can cultivate those below; only rotten corpses can spread diseases.
ReplyDeleteDomination is something that you can not control, and in fact, it is happening right now.
...right...I didn't mean to offend anyone. If I did sorry.
ReplyDeletecheer up! Some of us just love competition...
