Mile Stones

In ancient Greece miles stones were set up at each mile as a way to mark each paths so that travelers would know how far they had run. In modern times we have metaphorical mile stones to show how far we've come. To acknowledge momentum moments in our lives.

Go far away and never come back

They say the passage of time will heal all wounds, but the greater the loss the deeper the cut, and the more difficult the process to become whole again. The pain may fade but our scars serves as a reminder of our sufferings, and making the barrier all the more resolved never to be wounded again. So as time moves along we get lost in distraction, act out in frustration, and react with aggression, give in to anger, and all the wild we plot and plan as we wait to grow stronger and before we know it the time passes. We are healed ready to begin a new.

How To Be Brave When I Am Afraid To Fall Down

This entire week I felt like I will eventually have a mental break down. I feel so depressed that it might even happened, but I really have to be strong with everything that life comes at me. I know that I made myself such a better person after so many years of accomplishments and I can't look back now. But today, I am struggling to keep my head up. I have a lot of people who I love dearly and am grateful for that. So today I am stepping out of my home and going out to dinner with my favorite cousin because keeping all of my emotion inside is what hurting the most.


Whatever I am challenged with, I am grateful. There is a lesson to be learned. Be grateful you are alive, being given the opportunity to grow, learn, and conquer yourself. I am grateful there's a challenging experience upon me now, knowing that I am equipped to handle it. - Staying Strong.


Random Philosophical Questions

If you were to be cheated on, would you of like to know? If God were to know know, would you of want him to know?

My opinion:

I can understand that the great philosopher Plato, would of rather you know the truth about everything, but I think there are limits or levels that one must know. For example there are things that I wished that I would of never knew but because I do, it has helped make who I am. In other words, because of this knowledge of truth made me a wiser person and not an ignorant person. If my significant other would to ever cheat on me I would want to know because I already know how to react to the situations. For instance, breaking up would be that first step, secondly would be that I would ask why the act was done and third that if that person really felt such a way towards that person to break a commitment with someone that is already in a relationship with.

The Gettier Problem

Plato "true, justified belief," but Paul Gettier demonstrated the problems with Plato's definition of knowledge.

In your opinion, what is the deference between knowledge and belief? How do you know when you know something, versus when you merely believe it? Can you both believe and know something, or are they mutually exclusive? Provide examples to help illustrate your ideas.  

 
Plato

Knowledge is based in scientific methods and belief is a part of a cultural of groups of people, for instance, Latin American mostly believe that when it's cloudy it rain. The knowledge in data scientific method that if it's cloudy then it's rained. Because it's congested so the vapor goes etc. so this is proven scientifically. Now, the belief is part of the human but the belief is not proven scientifically. The experience needed to be experience to believe and know. The knowledge comes first and then comes then belief. You know that you know something because you have already been practice. For example, when you are going to drive, you know that you can drive because you are conducting because you've practice. I know that I know something because I can apply something. Another example, I can write because I apply it in my life. You can either believe or not believe you cannot just merely believe things. For example you can't be almost sick, It's either you are sick or not.  Another illustration, is either you like your boyfriend or you merely like him.

Philosophical Questions!

 What is true love? How do you know if he/she loves you? How can you prove something that you think/ believe is true without proof? 


There are many definition to love that apply to different styles and forms to express love.  I can prove that that there is true love because of the action of the significant others. One can know for sure that they love you unconditionally. One way that I can know that he or she loves me is the showing of compassion, attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and the constant caring. If it's a love with interest then that is not love that is selfishness and looks for pleasures. Love is something that comes from both partners to know that it is true. Each head has its own world and nobody has the capacity of reading other people's mind. However, if I wasn't to know if he loves me the person action I would understand that he/she loves me. For instance, if I am married and the person who insults me, abuses me in a mental or physical way he does not love you. In the bible it says love others like you would love yourselves. In other words, don't do what you wouldn't want them to do For instance, love is a feeling. Its felt and love is shown by caring for one another.
