1. Philosophy is a social science that addresses the big questions of life and human existence.
Comment and evaluate your approach to life. Is freedom and liberty always a good thing.
Philosophy is made of two Greek words. Philo meaning love, and Soph which is the suffix for wisdom and knowledge. Philosophers and the field of philosophy all center on the logic and reasoning of life and all its parts. What is life, where do we come from, where do we go when we die? All of these questions are big and grand casting a shadow on our lives. I think all of us are philosophers in our own life, as we break down and analyze our life we come logical conclusions. I am a good person or I am a bad person, statements we make after we evaluate our life and …show more content…
I think it is in our human nature to seek out answers to the burning questions. We have desires, passions, dreams, and aspirations, and most of the time these are questions we are seeking answers to. It’d be unfair and counter-intuitive to limit our pursuit of these things. It would cause rebellion and hinder innovation in thought and practice. When you compare our country to those who limit freedoms, whether in religion or politics, you’ll see a stark contrast in productivity and innovation. I believe as a Christian that if God made us in His image, He also designed us with the creative potential that He has. Our historical technological advances are a great example of this. The Wright brothers questioned life, and pursued it until they got an answer. Where did they get the idea of airplanes? Human beings create things daily out of imagination, which mirrors the very idea of an Intelligent Design, and a Creator God. Thus, freedom and liberty are essential for the progress of human thinking and development as a society.

Life doesn’t force me to do anything, yet it reveals inside me who I am and can be. Many people may succumb to the pressure and stress of life, and claim life gave them a bad hand, and many of them may look justified in their defense. In poker, when people get dealt bad hands they still have opportunity to win the pot, it just takes a little hard work and maneuvering. I’ve seen good hands get bluffed, and statistically sound hands get outplayed by a hustler. I work hard and hustle, so that life doesn’t define me because I define my life. I decide to laugh in adversity, and smile in suffering. I choose joy over sorrow. Although there is room in my life for sadness, hurt, shame, and more, I give no space to these emotions and characteristics. Instead I told myself into a better person through willpower and the decision to
