but after all, you feel happy about yourself. That's why this quality can never be taken away from him
who does such an act. Thus, selfishness here becomes a virtue for it continually makes him one step ahead
of others on every act he does.
Even if a person is individualistic in nature, his being is also considered as a being-in-the-world. By
having such quality he is thrown into it and is primordially directed towards such. He is given the powerto-be. Further, he realizes his own potentialities that make him ahead of himself. He becomes better than
what is usual. Through interaction with others, he sharpens his capabilities. In such a way he possesses a
sense of care. It is in this means that he learns to fit himself into the norm. He finds his path knowing
what is right from wrong and decides on what actions to take. "What you see is what you get." As the
state imposes law, he who is under its supervision will follow the statute. Through such, he comports
himself into how the majority works and that somehow develops him as to his ability to know his limits
and act in accordance with what is required of him. Also, others' existence becomes his mirror. As he
realizes his own capabilities, it is tantamount to realizing his mistakes, his own flaws. Without other
beings, he can never be better and will always be stocked on mediocrity and absurdity. Truly, his
encounter with the rest of the world enables him to discipline himself; developing means to survive the
demands of the time. Though as for self gratification and satisfaction, he still can't do something without
being in it. Indeed, the mutuality on driving both worlds is innate and inevitable.
Man, in addition, is the carrier and maker of history. Such is a proof to tell that he is a historical being and
whatever he will do today will affect the next generation. History is written because of him. Out of mans
being, there comes a turning point man is understood to be involved in. An attitude, which is self-directed,
is inherent in him as he walks through the voyage of his humanness. When he finds new horizons in his
quest to find his purpose, another event is recorded. This, to emphasize, has become part of history and
thus affects that what the upcoming is. Upon the commencement of the event, man on the other hand, has
made a civilization which is rooted upon his nature. Before, such quality was not even recognized. Fate
has become their hint whether to take actions or not. When taken, he consoles himself about the
inevitability of the happening and eventually resorts to accepting the fact that what happened is destined.
Going with the flow is the foremost reason why most of the time he routes to being where he is; but this
should not be. Man should take into account his responsibility for his historicity. The ancient beliefs
disregarded the profound purpose of knowing why this should be grasped upon by a man. In the first
place, as earlier said, the current situation permeates insights to handle the future. Historicity is not made
to change what has been done. However, it can be used to achieve what he wants the prospect to be.
When someone hurt his friend because of unexpected events that happened to affect the latter, the former
has no means of changing the finished event. Instead, he must take actions in order to settle the conflict
and make the best out of his efforts to be able to cope with the problem. In this way, whatever happened
in the past can never be undone, but the effort today counts in order to reach a brighter tomorrow.
These qualities help us rediscover the why of our existence. It makes us known to the reality set forth that
must be seen by our naked eyes. Philosophy of man does not just talk about these things. It brings us into
the panoramic view of stuffs we used to deal with. Its strengths pave the way to nourish us and nurture
our very own being.
Beyond doubt, the reality of humanity nowadays is driven by the ease of technology revolving in our
lives. It helps us to have convenience to do things faster, lighter and comfortably. However, Philosophy of
man awakens us to the reality that it might possibly lead to mans abolition, our own downfall. Though as
for the hindrances of thinking more of what we are capable of, it leads us to live basically. Such going
back to zero is making this life more profound for our potentialities are boosted to be of great help to us.
It enhances our humanity. It gives us the chances to be more humanely intelligent and never stop
actualizing the collision of our thoughts. It enables us to see the other side of this life- that there are more
than the advances if we try to understand the process. We are not born to be dependent but to be a creator
of our own.
As an individual, we have roles in life to be enacted upon and this can lead us to be excellent in existence
if we do it in an equitable way. This is one of the strengths of philosophy of man because as humans, we
are taught of having different tasks and functions in life that only we alone can perform. For example, a
teachers task is to teach students about lessons in class. Here, we can visualize that this teacher performs
his or her duty to impart his knowledge to his students. Unfortunately, not all of us try to push through our
roles and we tend to deviate from it. Excellence goes beyond the fulfilment of your chore on whatever
role you have. So long as youre happy with what the aftermaths will be, then such an act can be
considered as one containing a touch of fineness. When you are into the world and whatever you do will
positively affect the rest, such is the transcendence of excellence from the role that you have. You become
more grown as to the fulfilment of your interests while at the same time playing such triggers others to be
more aware of theirs.
On the other hand, committing mistake is one of mans inevitable realities. Philosophy of man teaches us
to be more keenly aware of the things that we are just ought to do. Having such gaffe must serve to be a
turning point for us to know the limitations that we should have. When a student cheats and his teacher
caught him in action, in order to be assured of passing, the next time he will be into it makes him known
to a fact that he must be prepared and must do his part. Such turning point taught to us serves to set a hint
into how this life must be lived. It traces mans certainty to be mistaken but this should not be something
to be afraid of. Moreover, it pacifies us to the truth that it is okay not to be okay even if its hard to follow
your will and your heart.
