RE(New*):Post Blog 3:Responce to Part IIIand IV

In Banach's lecture he talks about how our happiness should come from inside of us and no place else. Everything around us are just things that give us fake happiness. But by looking through the island of subjectivity this happiness is not unique and individual. As he said that "we can choose" to what we want to incorporate in our own lives, but what we incorporate is not made by ourselves. If we get happiness from ourselves and our individualism from "choosing" to take this and that from others, that we are not individuals since we all gain happiness from each other and the origin is unknown. For example, Lets say Person1 is walking down the street and spots Person2: Person1 likes the shirt Person2 is wearing. Than Person1 goes and buys the shirt, but doesn't like it on him/her, but Person1 was still persuaded to buy the shirt over his/her free will. Some may think it is freedom, but actually the name brand made the shirt or clothes that way and stripes away their freedom.

By reading Banach's lecture many people will think they can connect with everyone else and still have their happiness. Banach tells that person has to find happiness through them selves, but no one knows if this island of subjectivity is real or not, people can spend years trying to finds his or hers own happiness. People's "inner" happiness can be the same or different, but humans need material objects that will fuel their happiness. There can be so much happiness in one self, till it runs dry, since happiness is different to each person. Each person have different feelings and different ideals and no one else will ever understand about this. What blue is red and red is yellow by each different mind. Even though we as humans may not ever truly understand each other, but we try to.

When you think about it if there is inner "happiness" shouldn't there be other "inner" emotions. there are millions of feelings and so many ways to describe it. Why does Banach only talk about happiness when there can be ecstatic which is different from happiness but also considered the same. If her address this small part of what we call emotions than Banach hasn't though of the whole thing and his ideals might not be true, since we as humans get sadness and anger and other types of emotions from something that fuels it and sparks the flames. We don't get these emotions just from inside of us since that will be meaningless.
