Philosophical questions about Human Nature & the Human Condition

1. What harsh truths do you prefer 2 ignore?

3. Is there a meaning to life? If so, what is it?

4. Would the meaning of life the same for animals and humans?

5. Where is the line between art imitating life & life imitating art?

6. If someone you loved was killed in front of you, but someone created a copy of them that was perfect right down to the anatomic level, would they be the same person and would you love them just as much?

7. Does fate exist? If so, do we have free will?

8. What does it mean to live a good life?

9. Do dreams come true or are we a dream of a greater sleeping being & if so, are we in fact...Real?

16. If a child somehow survived and grew up in the wilderness without any human contact, how “human” would they be without the influence of society and culture?

17. Where does your self-worth come from?

18. How would humanity change if all humans’ life expectancy was significantly increased (let’s say to around 500 years)?

21. Will religion ever become obsolete?

22. If you could teach everyone in the world one concept, what concept would have the biggest positive impact on humanity?

23. Is suffering a necessary part of the human condition? What would people who never suffered be like?

24. Does hardship make a person stronger? If so, under what conditions and at what point is it too much hardship? If not, what makes a person stronger?

25. Would things get better or worse if humans focused on what was going well rather than what’s going wrong?
Immanuel Kant, Confucius, David Hume, Rene Descartes..these philosophers & many more have been plaque with these questions throughout time with NO SIGNIFICANT ANSWERS!! If we could have these answers, how scared would we be by them? Is it betta not 2 ponder these questions & remain blissfully ignorant? It puts me in mind of Rap Legend Jadakiss's song "Why?" of course, the questions of his song isn't as profound, but if you could ask 25 Questions...what would they be?

2017 promises...2018 commitments

The Happiest of New Year to all! Now that the holiday celebrations are in the rear view mirror, its moving forward to all the hopes & promises of 2018 that left us unfilfilled from 2017. I gotta say walking into this year feels inspiring, as I left last year on a high note. I've been promising myself getting GBS (Gastric Bypass Surgery, specifically vertical sleeve gastrectomy where 75-80% of the stomach is removed) and on my cousin's 55th birthday (had to give him a Shoutout..smh FAMILY lol) September 22nd at HUP's Perelman Center in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania I DID IT! Shamefully, I disgustingly allowed myself, at 4'7" tall, to balloned up to 297 lbs. After 90 minutes of surgery & 3 days of hospital recovery, I was home. After the first two weeks of liquid diets (Protein powder shakes, broth, water & Chewable vitamins), I lost 14 lbs. I really love to thank my surgeon Dr. Dumon & all of the Penn Bariatric team for everything.

Thus, in 2006 Advent begins Sunday, December 3, and ends the morning of Sunday, December 24 three weeks plus a portion of an additional day.

How to.make New Year's resolutions work?

Happy 2019 yaw!! Let's get into keepin resolutions thing. Ppl tell themselves "I'm gonna change..When January 1st arrive??" people have great resolution ideas to achieve their goals, like automatic bank transfers for saving money and a new smartwatch to help with weight loss. However, statistics show that only 9.2 percent of people ever achieve their New Year's resolutions and break free from their bad habits. Do I need to remind you about the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing and expecting different results? Now that I have hopefully touched a sensitive nerve, you are probably asking, "So why do most New Year's resolutions fail? If they don't work, then what does work?" The reasons why most New Year's resolutions fail Unfortunately, most of us create too much resistance by injecting too many resolutions and goals into our minds. We write down a long list of stuff like the following. Double busi
