In response to the statement made by Mr. J regarding the “wherefore” and things ceasing to exist forever. Does it truly disappear forever? I feel like the “wherefore” contradicts the need to create the art, leave the knowledge and examine the genetic code. The journey we are traveling is to be left for those in the future or for our children to learn from, reexamine and lay a framework for other journeys to be created. Look at the experiences, journeys we review or use as a measure. (I.e. Socrates, past presidents, sports figures, parents, etc.) Without those would we be who we are now. Definitely not we would be living a different journey, discovering different things or even beginning a new conquest somewhere else. I don’t know if we can contemplate whether or not there is an infinite end. Although, it is interesting to think about it from time to time. We must think to the future of tomorrow. For if we think according to the “wherefore”, then what motivation does the world or you and I have. I want to take a look at the “wherefore” as a motivating tool for us to explore and try to prove that this may be wrong. That there is that purpose or journey, there is that reason or future to create the knowledge and art for the world to view now and forever. But yet again what is forever. It is what makes our journey, the pursuit to make our journey last and be remembered forever. [Excellent reply Mr. J never thought of it this way.]
Mr. J it is funny that you make mention of my previous inability to provide you with any answers or even debate with you back in the day. It has come to my attention lately that one I didn’t know or have any answers because I had not ever allowed myself to think about such things. Two, some part of me didn’t want to think or know the answers. Perhaps due to the fear of the answers or the ingrained idea that expression and free thought are not quite welcome. Or that my opinion does not matter much to the world or would be wrong, which I learned through our philosophy classes that right or wrong does not matter as long as you can verify and certify your thoughts, facts and opinions. This made me reflex upon most people’s responses to such a question. I experienced this same incident just the other day, someone not being comfortable expressing or sharing their thoughts and ideas due to the inability or fear of sharing. I think that this is common in our world today although history teaches us to do the opposite and fight for our right to think.
To be content with living life without existence or recognition of who you are as a person or the thoughts that one has but may be afraid of sharing, which has changed for me. I believe trying to make life too simple results in life becoming more complex. We are complex beings meant to share, dream, think, explore and live. It is time that we step into this role and begin discovering or uncovering or living our journey. [Glad I am a part of your answer. It goes to show that distant and life does not hinder true friendship.]
