Commenting on Others Blogs

Kate:
Hey Kate,
Absolutely agree with: "I believe we ourselves are the only ones who can stop ourselves from being free" because like Banach said, we can't be force if we said we don't want to (unless we might get kill by it or... o.o).

Same as you, I am also confuse with why he started out saying we are alone but then said that "our actions have consequences and that we should choose according to that reasoned outcome". That means because the consequences connects with others meaning we have to look out for others if we don't act rightly and that means that we are not becoming an absolute individual but having to think about others future before our decision.

I can connect how we have to find meaning in life or else we become a soulless doll just born on Earth to become a lifeless object (added to the population). As well as that we have to find value by "our own struggle" and "achieving our definition ourselves" because once we find those answers, even if it small, we have more energy to push us to live on and those values that are pushing us "cannot be taken away from us". Another point that I agree is "where we cannot control how we are made but the decision of how we shape ourselves is still up to us to decide" because its like saying existence precede essence and then essence precede existence, plus freedom. We choose what we want a lot of the times even though there are "certain rules and guidelines".

There's not any I can see that you need to explain. I understand what you are saying and agree with them. ^-^

I think it is valuable to think about others and then including yourself as both in the number one rather than having separately because we are all thinking about others before having any actions taken.

Very intriguing to have read your post. Hope to read more next time.

Hi Maggie,

Your post was very interesting and you gave a bunch of examples to support what you are saying. Your examples such as Christmas was very funny; the words "Bamboozlers and Dingdangers". As well as the images you created was helpful (like the painter).

I believe your points were that we are happy because we influenced, "motivated" by "physical object(s)". You cannot find happiness just within yourself but there are other things that would make you happy by seeing it or experiencing it. Then you also talk about how we are not as free as it sounds. You said, "Basically, we are physically restricted but we are free mentally" was for me, a very agreeable point and that telling us we are "slave of someone, or we a slave of expectations" was a good...point.

I agree how everybody has to use everybody to achieve something of their own or for the society. And our own happiness can be in there as well like the holidays, we make decorations and sell the lovely stuff to make others happy when looking at it. Like anime and manga makes me extremely happy xD. I don't think it is only in within that you find happiness but like you said, we have something that we found that makes us happy.

Yes, I agree with Carrie, that I don't see where you need to develop or add ideas. Your ideas are "insightful" and made me think about the objects that makes us happy that we are free to think what we want in the inside because no one is going to object it. It is our opinions and whether they like it or not, it's not their business. It is our choice to pick the opinions (you know, like those people who are afraid of their own opinions so they chose with the big crowd, or the scary crowd o.o). Additionally, the "slave" point was new to me and thank you for sharing that out. It made me think a lot too ^-^.

Always glad to read your thoughtful post. Hope to read more next time~.
