Today we discussed Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. Existentialism was the topic. The video is posted here. The quiz question was what do you think is the cause of loneliness?
Humans are social creatures it takes a family to raise a child to insure a balanced life. Loneliness comes from a lack of attention that since of belonging that some people do not get for one reason or another, it is a need form companionship and acceptance and out right joy in one's life. If one goes with out these things it causes loneliness. Like a child left alone apposed to one with friends to play with and learn to socially interact to from healthy relationships with other people. A life of suffering by tyranny, full of disappointments and can cause fear and doubt that leads to loneliness and a felling of inferiority also leads to loneliness. Dealing with fake people and societies can make one lonely. One must find a balance in their own live to avoid loneliness that can be such a damaging negative force in the way of happiness.
"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.
