Humanity as a whole are dependent upon another to live, yet how much? I am constantly given examples of need for human companionship, for survival and various other reasons; yet at the same time am confronted with feelings of constant need for self-reliance. I realize this may be very normal, yet dependence upon others doesn’t seem extremely rational except for the basis of survival. Maybe it’s just me, but the more I think, the more I isolate myself from others. Certain things that troubled me in 2011 were the very simple questions that many find to be rather archaic now, even in philosophical terms, like what is morality? And if there is a purpose to humanity’s existence, what could it be? Would it be universal or subjective? Non existent? I would go further into the analysis of things such as gender roles (even writing a speech over it and performing it for a debate-related event), the purpose of relationships and love within our lives, and even if they serve a definite purpose. I at times questioned what it meant to be, I’d fall into nihilistic periods where I would be determined to admit that there was no true purpose to anything at all, which overall was a depressing thought yet could be taken lightly if one attempted to do so. I still haven’t solved my economic theories problem, meaning I still have not concluded how I picture an ideal economy since they all have extreme faults and benefits. Overall, 2011 gave me more questions and very few answers. This does not necessarily bother me, but only fuels the idea I must try more to find my answers. To notice people, things, events and the world around me. To analyze how people act and how it affects their minds, see correlations in how they view the world and then look at how I view the world as well. Sometimes on this blog I may sound like a broken record and I’ll admit I very much am, but only because these questions keep me up at night and you can’t go up to every Tom, Dick and Sally and ask “What does this mean?” for they would certainly grow rather tired, since you all have entered into my realm of thoughts voluntarily, I must assume it doesn’t bother you. Thanks. I only wish that 2012 could give me a clearer understanding of humanity’s level of understanding, what they recognize as truth, clarity and the immensity of their own existence.
