I should be happy and excited at the upcoming events of tomorrow; however, I find myself dreading what might happen. Could it be possible that everything I have strived for will end tomorrow? I hope not. On the other hand I'm intent on holding my faith and finding the strength to persist.
Which brings to me to an ironic twist in my way of thinking. While I almost completely reject the concept of blind faith in religion I accept the concept of blind faith in love. Why is it so? Well, I'm not to sure, but I think it has something to do with love being far more irrational than normal, simple life. When I say normal I simply refer to the many choices and opting for the one that seems to bear the most positive benefit in return. Yet love is irrational because people tend to make outrageous decisions under the guise of love.
I'm not revealing my cards just yet. I believe that can wait until I know for certain the final outcome of my arduous commitment. Cartesian skepticism has driven me to a world of doubt, but I'm sure my friends would say that I have always been a skeptic.
Actually, you have always been more the optimist than me.
ReplyDeleteI had to google 'Cartesian Skepticism' but now I think I know what it means. Something about how do we know if our universe, as we know it, really exists. The fact that we are able to doubt proves that we exist but how do we know that everything around us is real, and not a dream or a fantasy. Have I got it right? So, would Cartesian sketpticism be the opposite of blind faith?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to here some more news. It's now been three days since your last blog.

Too right mum, Also, Descartes goes on in supportin the existance of God as something cannot come from nothing; there fore, if I know I exist then there must be some'thing' that created me.
ReplyDeleteHheheheh my mum the philosopher.
Hey !
ReplyDeleteDon't you think that phylosophy may be taking you too far in an unsustainable world ? What about some scientific facts or challenge your phylosophical premises with the dirt and ugly facts from the real world. If they prove to be true you have a theory otherwise is time to restart... Like mathematics... you get the write answer or your're wrong.
All the best from your friend
Hey Nengi,
ReplyDeleteSo, if I am doubting something, then I know I exist; and if I exist, then something (God) created me. But the part that always drives me crazy is ... if God created me, then where did God come from? ... then there's the premise that the universe is infinite ... And yet I do have faith in that premise ... because I see infinity when I divide the number 10 by the number 3 (.33333~) so I can grasp the concept of infinity; so why not the concept that God just exists ... I certainly can no more prove that God exists than I can disprove it ... so it all comes back to "blind faith" again, doesn't it.

yeah well there is a difference between an infinite number and an infinite god. here is some more terminology. A Priori (don't need to look at the outside world) and A posteri (spelling is wrong - need to look at the outside world). A posteri is empirical.
