Mr. Choi:
Hey Mr. Choi,
I liked how you talk about how if we want to achieve absolute individualism that we need to seclude ourselves from the world and interact with no one.

You're talking about about what absolute individualism, and connecting to what Banach say that we are all alone in this world. However, we cannot really do that because we have to learn from others, adapting their ideas as well. However, however, you also say that by just being within ourselves, not interacting with other, we can see, "observe" the world and not thinking about what others think.

I can see how your idea connects to how we think of ourselves, that we have to adapt to others' ideas and knowledge for us to learn further more, like in class, we have to participate. Then we think about it and puts that information inside our head to fill up the space of knowledge. And that we have to "interpret" as what we think, making that our opinions, or like you said, trying to understand them.

I think you can expand with the first paragraph, how there are no "absolute individualism" and how we learn from others can help us also make our own individuality.

Your post made me think about how in my own life, to learn, I need to look at others to know what I need to do to do this or that. But also in a way, as I have these knowledge and experiences in my head, I can make my own opinions that don't have to be same as others. We can make our individual, that we don't necessary have to be the same as others. However, I wonder, if we don't interact with others, I don't think there would be room for all of us human to be placed separately in this earth that we cannot meet with another person no matter how much we travel. *laughs*

Your ideas on the isolation was really good, and I agree with you on the whole. It was great reading your post. Hope to read your next one!~

Yazmin:
I like how you started out of thinking whether you are talking to your friend and that "you are DEAD WRONG" about having the same feelings as the other person. Also about the truly alone if we build a wall was a great imagery talking about Banach's statements.

I think I can understand that the arguments you are trying to build is that there is no absolute individualism and that we are possibly alone, in our own world and that the others can't feel what you feel completely because situations can be the same but there has to be something different that makes the feelings different.

I think that how everybody's feelings are different even though they said, "I understand what you are going through" that sort of conversation because even though we are human, we share different experiences, not necessarily that much difference but that we are able to sometimes get what others are talking about but a percentage of it, we cannot actually be 100% the same with others. Like your example with your friend, friends confront each other with their feelings to want to share/ or to be able to share the same feelings but are unable to completely. Also whether or not we are really here, or talking to someone, are we here just to talk to someone, to learn about things or like what you said in the last paragraph, whether we can experience the same thing as others. Whether we are just by ourselves, that we will fade away to our own seclusion, and forget the others?.....

I think you develop more on the absolute individualism or how you can have individualism even if you are interacting with others. Or whether have a wall, separating yourselves from others but still walking among them can achieve individualism.

This help me thought about, do we even need to be an absolute individual. Is there a point to it? whether we find our own individuality? If we isolate ourselves, what can we learn, because we are stuck in one place, we cannot observe as well as we can. And then starts to have imaginations that thinking that might be the answer, even though it might not be if it is objectively then what would they do? Because they would have no one to talk to. (Ah, I'm getting confuse~~...)

Reading your post made me laugh and I can agree with what your ideas are. Thanks for posting, hope to look forward to your next post!~
^-^~
