During our first Brand Communications
lectures we briefly studied about a few philosophers and their theories about
the meaning of life. All these major historical figures had provided an answer
to the question what meaningful life is for them.
Then, when I was asked about which
specific philosopher’s opinion/theory I would support. I was totally confused.
It was so hard to express my own view
of life based on other people’s thoughts. I was partly supportive of
Heraclitus’ view that everything is changing. I also agreed with Socrates-a
person should be constantly questioning. And finally I was ready to agree with
Aristotle and his theory of unformed matter. At this time I stopped for a
moment and I realized that each person should have his identical view of the
things around him.
Back to the question: What is my
philosophic view of life? Every human being is born on this planet in order to
create or develop something, which will remain after his/her death. We should
be remembered with something. It is not mandatory and it is not possible every
single person to create a lifetime innovation. A person could also be remembered
with his good behaviors and attitude towards everyone around him. We should
always be open for helping the others. If you help only one single person or
creature in your lifetime, this act actually matters. If a person could say
that he/she have done a single good without waiting for something in return,
this person could say that he/she have lived a meaningful life.

ReplyDeleteOverall I feel like you have answered the question and have made some interesting points. I also like the fact that you talked about the philosophers we had learnt in class but on the other hand I didn't see any comparison with it to your own beliefs. I feel like you could have gone in more depth and detail to help explain your answer to the question more. (5)
