What I want to Learn

Two of the most intriguing topics i hope to get a little more understanding about are Life and Death and The idea of Perception. I think that both of these topics create a lot of room for discussion and give me an opportunity to understand the world a little better.

Life and Death to me is a huge topic. Life is really different for all walks of life, depending on where you live, who your parents are, what influences, (both positive and negative), make an impact on your actions, and who you grow up to be. To me personality comes into play because you are who you grow up to be because of the way we are raised. your personality is a direct relation to who raised you and who was in your life early on. Slight changes can make an otherwise productive member of society into a twisted mental case. I like to think that there is enough research out there to back up that theory. Death on the other hand is quite another story. Death is so concrete and we cant deny it; life is only temporary. When you die what happens? Some say we go to heaven, others say we become part of the earth. I think we become reincarnated until we fulfill our purpose in life, what ever that may be. I like to think that at the end of it all, it takes a few different walks of life to clearly get the whole picture.

Second, the idea of perception really gets me thinking. Personal perception is everything and anything we base our actions on. The idea that we don't really "see" anything is interesting because how do we know what we are seeing is real? Animals see differently so does that mean we don't see the right things? We know that there are lots of theories and crazy people out there but when we sit down and ask the question: "is this the way we were meant to receive the world?" then it starts to make since. I think that what we see must be real because collectively as a society we are pretty uniform when it comes to what we build and our knowledge of the physical world. It's a really good topic and if any one has an opinion about that i want to hear it, so feel free to post.


Here is one video that i found; it is just a really weird view on perception.
