About Me
- William Jamison
- "What we have loved Others will love, and we will teach them how." Wordsworth I remember going to college with all my early beliefs still intact. I was raised Roman Catholic. Jesus was my personal Savior. They held together until I switched my major to Philosophy in the second summer. (I was doing so poorly in music that I had to switch in order to bring up my point average enough to continue in school). I had changed to Philosophy primarily because I had no idea what I wanted to study, or should study. Philosophy offered the most, free electives (you couldn't just take any courses you wanted to back then) and by taking free electives in Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology, I figured I could find out what I would like best. As it turned out, I liked Philosophy best.
Quiz question: If a tree falls in the forest and no one there to here it does it make a sound? There is no right or wrong answer to this age old question but, here goes. If this tree is theoretically in the writers mind then no the tree made no sound as it fell. However, First needs to be tree that is falling then no one around to here it make the sound in the first place with out stating cause and effect. Then maybe the tree did not make a sound when it fell. Not to be confused with a real tree made of substance that has structure and form that if the tree fell it most assuredly had made a sound weather any one was there or not. It would be like a thunderous sound that shakes the ground and scares all the Voles and Moles away. Like a Humming birds wings flapping one can hear and feel the vibration of the birds flapping wings even if you cannot sea it. To grasp reality one must not think to hard on it, for reality must be experienced. There is no better teacher than nature all you have to do is pay attention and not just observe but, take part in the moment with nature.
