The Existential Imagination
Think of the one place you think is perfect, where nothing can go wrong; the one image in your mind where no one can touch and taint. Have you ever though that, the one place that is perfect for you isn’t really yours, but actually was created from someone who is dead now and built it a long time ago.
Many people today love to think about what is the meaning of life, but not one person can answer this questions since we as humans has never been able to live as true individuals in our small existence. Thinking about how many people try and shape others life and force them into thinking one ways is wrong, and we as humans should think off many different individual ways and never one complete universal way to think about it. To express our opinions is a way to share and connect with others, each humans has their own way of adapting other stuff into their lives but all this is involuntary and no selected as a choice because of the human physiological state of mind.
In this world we as humans has wondered the world in search of the essence (essence: is the attribute or set of attributes that make an object or substance what it fundamentally is, and which it has by necessity, and without which it loses its identity, wikipedia) in our lives. David Banach talks about how we as humans has our existence precede our essence. But I think that our essence comes before our existence since before this great stage of evolution we as humans evolved from chimps to survive(which was out essence), so then we as humans has had our essence before our existence. then as time went on we gave each new human a reason to exist(in school or at home [any kind of forcing other humans]). Then each humans has their essence before their existence, and that we as humans or animals do not make out own essence but is made up for us. in this world we as humans can never define our essence or our existence(we can't choose when we are born it is chosen for us).
In this world we as humans are taught in school or by our parents to obey certain rules set buy society long time ago. You are always given choices as a kid thinking you have the power to choose (do you want your homework to be due tomorrow or on Friday?) it is never I want it due never or Monday. We are given a schedule and have to stick with it, even in college we think we can create our own lives but we still have to go to school and learn. You got to earn a certain amount of credits to pass. We as humans don’t have the right to explore by ourselves and learn about the world through fresh eyes. They feed us knowledge of this we don’t really need to know and drain our minds with grades or other materialistic objects thinking that it is actually helping society while it is just making it worst. David Banach never told us a way to be free he just gives very general ideals of “separating ourselves from the external world”. As he never noticed that he himself is stripping humans of their freedom as he has been taught himself.
Humans are very fragile beings and our happiness is no exception. David Banach states that we as humans can only achieve true happiness from inside of us (island of subjectivity) and not from external things. But I feel that, we need to get more than what’s inside of us to gain this happiness and freedom, since we are all empty items of this world and everything is external, but it all varies on different peoples opinions and ideals of this world, of what is true and what is false. He cannot define where each of us find our freedom or happiness since himself hasn't tasted the true happiness and freedom of this world.
For someone to really feel the true happiness or freedom of this world, will never be true, since we as humans must taste the feelings of sadness and anger in order to walk the path the true happiness and freedom. But the path stretches on longer than a humans live. each person must live their lives to their own will and not live the life that some old lecture talks about event though they are just his own ideals which might not me true. When David Banach talking about how each person has their own island of subjectivity might not be true since some people has attached themselves to the world to an extent that they have merged with others subconsciously and has lost their own opinions to the greater reason.
In this world no one is free, since each person is taught to believe in something from birth to death. “fight for your life for your country” or “gold will save you if you believe in him”. We as humans cannot run away from these visions of hope and happiness in our minds. This world has become so tainted that all threads of freedom and individuality has been striped away after the age of 1month old. When humans are born they have two roads ahead of them, either spoiled as children and given anything as long as it makes them happy, or take the road of death where their lives were not meaningful enough to keep them and either the child has to survive on their own and live the painful scars of life or die. Most children are given the path of riches, but not once has a child been able to choose the path for themselves. Each child is lead the path of whatever the parent or guardian thinks is right. Even then its not the parents our guardians choice since they have been influenced by the people around them and their own childhood. Nothing is ever chosen and everything is always just passes on like a necklaces from someone who died a long time ago.
Each different individual tries really hard to obtain their own freedom but it can never be true if there is someone or something leading your life and being a puppeteer of that section of your life. If there is something pushing a person toward a stay path or a fixed path than it is not their own happiness and freedom they are achieving but the happiness of the teacher or "god" (boss or other humans/things).
In this world we think there are two things right and wrong (good & bad). But in this world there is bound to be someone who will disagree since the whole world isn’t in sync. Everybody has been “taught” to believe a certain way, either a different or the same way. If someone says that they like Obama as their president and I say that I don’t since he is pressuring the united states too fast and is posing all these new things which strips away our freedom and individuality more then is it right or wrong? You can never choose since if there is at least one thing (plant and animals and other stuff are living things too and cant be excluded) in this world that thinks it is right or wrong and every thing thinks the opposite than it is right and wrong. So we as humans can’t say the words right and wrong since they don’t exist.
Looking at this now, I don’t even know what I am typing is true or not, it could be things that people taught me. Humans learn and progress, since don’t you ever wonder why you learn better doing things hands on than reading through a textbook. We have to explore the world and everything in it. Possibilities are limitless, so throw away our need to grasp the world through others eyes, and find out for ourselves. You don’t have to listen to this paper since I am only doing this for a good grade in class, to live by society’s rules and never to taste real freedom or individuality.
