Ranting : A Ranting Correction

Lily states:

Existentialism isn't "taking one day at a time" It is the idea that humans can only be understood through their experienced individual reality as opposed to science or psychology or any other scientific means. It stresses the fact that you are master of your universe and ultimately the responsibility for your life is yours, and that your actions and decisions are the only ones that can truly effect who you are, and that you alone create any meaning in your life. It is not about not seeing the big picture. It is about taking responsibility for your actions and their consequences and creating your own big picture.

I guess I stand corrected about the meaning of Existentialism. I guess the meaning of existentialism can be interpreted differently; the definition I received was one of a different meaning. Either way, I just mis-labeled what I wanted to say, I was more trying to I just convey a philosophy to some extent and how it did not co inside with my idea of what reality exerts on the human psyche. The philosophy goes something like this: Take life one day at a time for each day you live could be your last, enjoy each moment as though it were your last. Take life 1 stride at a time, anger and frustration require too much energy and thus are useless emotions--this is by no means exact or quoting the original philosophy.

School : End of the Semester

Posted by Compubomb On Dec 16, 2005 @ 11:14 am | Visited ( 215 )

Today is the last day of the potential semester until Sprint 2006 semester begins on I believe January 23. I've finished all of my finals and I'm uncertain as to the results on my chemistry final as to what I scored for my grade for all practical purposes. I scored an 88 percent on my Calculus 1 final which means I'm in good shape to move into Calculus 2; never thought I would reap this day. I woke up this morning freezing down to my bones; technically it was not freezing in my room, but it supposedly was 30F during the coldest part of the night--winder solstice coming soon--and I just didn't want to get up. I was and still so cold that I have on an entire sweat suite plus my bathrobe. I'm somewhat relieved that I don't have school for almost a month.

Ranting : Existentialism Holds Lethality Towards Education

The assumption that one must live life one day at a time in my Honest and most humble opinion is quite the contrary. It would seem those who hold such assumptions to be true have a lack of experience towards human affect and to how an individual holds priorities in their life. To me, I can only look at living one day at a time if I lived in a vacuum; however, I don't live in a vacuum and life holds it's conditions and in order to live your life one day at a time, you must plan for all possible conditions which is really just impossible to do--Murphy's law states that if something can go wrong, it inevitably will go wrong. Living one day at a time to me states that I have an unlimited ability to say I can procrastinate as much as I like, as to spite the idea of planning life, to live as existentially as possible. But the inherent flaw in existentialism is that it conforms to no boundaries as long as you satisfy your appetite.
