Everyone’s views on certain topics is something that can always change due to receiving greater knowledge from outside sources and experiencing new things from our everyday lives. Understanding someone’s philosophy is understanding how they interoperate right from wrong and the choices they choose daily. I like to believe that my philosophy is always changing and growing with everything I learn about and different things I go through by applying it to ethical behavioural, how I preserve observations and social system that we live in today.

These views can usually change over time due to friends, surroundings and things they learn from the education system. My philosophy has changed greatly during the last few years of my life because of my beliefs and open-mindedness and understanding on certain topics has changed. I used to be Christian, but I began to question the bibles structure and the beliefs on what should be taken seriously in the bible and what shouldn 't be. I started to look at common sense, logic and what I believed was right and wrong and how which reflected how I wanted to live my life and deciding to start question my surroundings. Which lead me to question the building I grew up in and beliefs I was taught to live my life by and not question facts. I feel the purpose of our self in the universe is different for each person, but it should regard finding ourselves not though someone or something but who we are as

I was born into a family of Christians. However as I grow older meet more people of other religions the things I practiced and the way that I practice them have changed.…

    We can see that for most, being brought into existence and being guided into action is sufficient to have a purpose in life and have meaning in what you do. Camus argues that we have no purpose in this universe and we are merely randomly assembled group of particles floating in space. Divine or universe-ordained, whatever the case may be, we were brought into existence in our metaphorical boat and we were given a wheel of control so, short of a bible-style guide book, it is as apparent as it can be that we are here to take control of our…

    I throughly enjoyed reading your post and personally identified with your closing statement. In Charles Darwin's words, "If everyone were cast in the same mold, there would be no such thing as beauty. " If we look to other cultures in the world, we find that they have clearly different standards/ ideals for beauty and we can also see how greatly we are influenced by our own. I do wish that our society wasn't so conditioned to the point where beauty is defined as having certain physical attributes or fitting into a particular mold deemed by our culture.…
