I think you can go about this two ways. One is freedom from your own mind, as David Banach says, "Each of us is trapped within our own mind". We can achieve this some how, but I don't know how. Jeez I'm only 15. Maybe human freedom is being free of other peoples decisions, and being able to control yourself. Existentialism is a little confusing for me, all this "What's it all mean?" stuff, because I believe it varies so every one asking the same question and getting different answers feels odd. Although I would love for all of us to be able to relate and come to the same conclusions, I just feel like that won't work. We are trapped within our own minds after all. Victems to our ever linger questions, Where am I going? What should I do? What if? Where did those keys GO??
So difficult, I know. But it sucks. A lot of stuff sucks. I just wanna know how to make all that suck less.

Conor I fricken miss you and your sense of humor. I read both of your posts as an idea to see what people in other classes were writing. I love how laid back you are even when you're being logical. And I feel like people can relate to you through your writing. I also like the titles of your blogs and the links of your blogs. Mr. Gingerbread Man!
ReplyDeleteI like how you really talked from the heart and said what you felt and thought. How you really showed that some times your thoughts are not all there and how you sometimes think and people may not understand but that is just how we think some times.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you we are stuck in our own minds. But I also feel that that I some times get confuse when we read the papers on what he is trying to get at and "What's it all mean?".
But I do think that with me saying that I know what you mean I can't not really be that stuck in my own mind because then I would know what you mean and know how you feel when you are confused.
Next time just do more into what you think and feel.
From reading what you wrote me realize that I am not the only one that thoughts come out crazy. That I think what I am thinking will sound crazy to other people but I never know until i say.
Thanks for making me think more.
