My philosophy- Part 1
Today I found out who I was and why I am this way. Hearing about Plato and what he stood for sounded oh so familiar. Nobody took me serious when I told them who I was/who I had been. I have learned that my ideas are not strange or coming out of nowhere, but that one of the greatest philosophers of all time shared my ideas.
Finally someone put down my ideas on paper, with clear wording, something I've wanted to do for so long but never did. I know it can be done. In fact, I'm gonna do it now. :)
First of all, I just want to make clear that in no way I agree with all Plato's ideas. It's just that a lot of them I can relate to. This also means that SOME of my ideas about life, love and everything else, are in no way related with Plato, but with me, a barely 17 year old high school student. Quite a contrast, huh.
Ok, let's start.
First of all I'm going to answer the questions philosophers have been wondering about since, I believe, the very first generation of people was planted on this world. "What is our purpose?" or
"What's the meaning of life?" It's oh so clear to me. I believe our lifes, all our past lifes and all our future lifes are about learning and reaching a highest philosophical knowledge as possible.
In every new life we develop a sense to remember those lessons we have learned in our past lifes.
Once we have reached that goal, we move to this higher place and live there perfectly and peacefully ever after.
Karma. What goes around comes around. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Karma. It is present in so many religions, it is there in so many shapes and forms that we can hardly escape from it. To me, this is one of the most important things to believe in and that one must live up to. Only by living like this peace can be reached. If one does something good, something good will come back to him/her. If one does something bad, it comes back to him/her as well. Karma.
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Reading this book changed my life. Those four, pretty easy life rules have such an impact on your life and they absolutely help you reach your highest goal in life.
1. Be impeccable with your words
2. Don't take anything personal
3. Don't make assumptions
4. Always do your best.
Faith. Everything happens for a reason. I strongly believe that. How unfair things seem, they NEVER happen without a reason. NO ONE suffers without a reason. EVERYTHING serves a higher purpose.
