LIFE: A COLORFUL RAINBOW
Understanding the Self subject has moved me from just
experiencing into profound understanding. It encouraged me to self-awareness
and consciousness towards myself. Indeed, it was a subject who taught me
something beyond the book. From the legendary philosophers’ theories and realities
such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and many more, and putting those down on
writing had been a great innovation tool that passes down the stories of days
that are long gone. One of their most lovingly cherished aphorism that has ever
affected me is, “The unexamined life is not worth living”, from Socrates where
he meant the resilience against human soul, evil, pain hardships and misery. It’s
undeniable that only self-awareness can we hope to improve our life and to perfect
one’s character.
The subject,
technically speaking, was a feasible one that can be understood without great effort.
Perspectives about self, facts about life, and concepts of great philosophers
can easily be scrutinized and inculcated on our mind. But can we question our
ability to think if we really do comprehend and figure out what they really
meant? Because life is not just one colour, but it’s a colourful rainbow that if
you see things from a different perspective, it will help you to see that it
was a substance full of art. It was a substance to help us appreciate
ourselves. It was a substance that can increase our value as a human being.
Indeed, it was a substance that can be a catalyst for our change.
It has been made easy
to cognize and quench our thirst for knowledge with the supervision of our subject
Professor, Dr. Landicho. With the help of her creatively done Powerpoint
presentations, and meticulously well-thought-out scrutiny made us easier to
understand everything about the course of study. My lust for learning and
appetite for knowledge have been allowed by her by mugging up realizations and information
beyond what is written on the book. One immeasurable realization came from her
that made me immensely grateful is that life is a journey and a hard-fighting
battle that cannot be easy for anyone. But ourselves determine what we become
so always give it your all, and dare to be all you can be. I may not know where
my life voyage may lead, and I may not know when it will end. But one thing
that is for sure, the Lord is with me wherever I go.
