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.
Reality can be cold, harsh and down right nasty and it can be fulfilling and nourishing. Depending how smart or stupid on ones behaviors such as simply put such as a real fire will burn ones hand and a metaphysical fire can not since it is not really there according to some scholars. However, A social constructed reality is some other type of thing in it self. If one grows up a Trogon Warrior Life for them is harsh and the week are weeded out quickly. or one grew up in Mayberry with white picked fences and a deputy with one bullet in his pocket, named Barny Fife. The social reality norms for one society are not the same as the rest of the world in fact there are many some good, neutral and very bad so "The truths we hold on to are merely different points of view" As for are reality is a perception of are experiences. The absurdity of thinking the metaphysical wall is not there as one perceives it only works until one runs into the wall and painfully finds out that reality is not only in the mind but is a real and tangible thing. Three Philosophers and a five year old go for a walk in town, Socrates, Aristotle and a modern philosopher and a five year old go for a walk. Up ahead there is a wall Socrates and Aristotle walk threw the wall the modern philosopher walks into the wall and is falls back to the ground in the dust nocked out, the five year old stops says there is a wall. when the modern philosopher wake up he ask the five year old what happen. the five year old said Aristotle and Socrates are dead there for there ghost can pass through the wall You tried to metaphysical walk through the wall and found reality. The five year old said, I learn that less when I was two, reality bites.
