Philosophy of the Self: The Self As Memory Update Device

     The philosophy of the self is debatable until the present time because no one knows what the self is. Socrates, one of the most powerful philosophers said that you must know yourself to know and possess virtue and wisdom. Descartes thinks that the self is a thinking thing, therefore, we are who we are because of what we think. John Locke said that the self is the personal identity found in consciousness, David Hume tells us about the self as a bundle theory of mind, Immanuel Kant manifests respecting others as respecting yourself and that you create yourself, and many more philosophers share their sentiments of the self. If we will build what the self truly is, we may see it in the theories our philosophers have given already. It is just that, for me, the ideas are broken to which we cannot see until now the self.      I do not know much about the philosophies of the self, however, it challenges me to connect to my inner self and ask what this is.

That Some Kind Of Love

         When it comes to love, you always have a choice. If you are not ready yet, do not push yourself too hard. Because even if it is worth a try, if it is not meant for you – it is not for you.

That is always what I have in mind. Love is never an exception. For the past years, I’ve learned a lot about love. I haven’t been in a relationship yet, but what I see is not from movies. It...

Brewed in Confusion

Photo retrieved from  jcogtasQUOTES        "You may have wondered what I am, as I often wonder myself. We may have been brewed in the steams of confusion, but all I know is here I am to stay... with you..." -Jeanille Cogtas          For several times, I have roved around, asking myself if being different is a sin. That being unalike is considered as a mistake. So now, how can I truly live if I am growing with uncertainty?         It has never been easy for a person to live in our society when being judged by other people. It always comes into the minds of the abusive to see the flaws in you. Because instead of motivating you as a person, they try to bring you down - closer to hell. It hurts. As if they know everything. When in fact, it is not your intention to be different around their corners.       Truthfully, I agree with the quotes' thought. It tells me that people have been questioning wh...
