Philosophy is beautiful>
Most of the time I found Mr T's gp lesson interesting.Frankly, it doesn’t help much in exams, most of what he says are opinions. After we finished all the dry topics, my favourite topic, philosophy finally came. However, I was frustrated during the first lesson.
Most of my classmates are disinterested about this topic or they know little about it, so they kept quiet. Only M was saying something, which I agree with. Mr T talked about the differences of occidental and oriental philosophy, when he asked the question of what is the biggest difference between them, no body answered, the most obvious difference I knew was related to eastern and western art. Western art have lots of portraitures and the eastern art contains mainly landscapes. Therefore, we say that the eastern culture consider the society as whole, the combination of man and nature, on the other hand, the western culture emphasizes individualism.
I learnt this when I was 14, through self reading, both art books and philosophy books. And when I was 15, my Chinese teacher told the whole class this. But in Mr Ts lesson, I didn’t answer the question. I was not sure whether it is the “biggest” difference. In the end I felt frustrated because I found I have this inferior-complex. It have started since I came here, exacerbated during the two year studying in a girl school. There are a lot of things I knew turn to be unclear and useless here. And I dare not to voice out most of the time. I studied philosophy and art very hard, I like them, most of the time I did self studying. I prefer western philosophy, and I dislike Confucious, I was sick of memorising all the “Confucious say…” in my secondary school, perhaps Confucious is the idol and model of many Chinese, but not mine. I appreciate some of his saying, but I disagree with that he is perfect. I read Niezsche, Kant , Carl Gustav Jung and Schopenhauer. Especially last year, after I reading Jung’s personality analysis I adopted his views of life. But here, I’m unable to talk about them in English , I don’t; know how to say those specific philosophic terms in English because I read those books in Chinese.
And in the second lesson, Mr T asked about what’s our philosophy. I said, be useful. Others laughed, I didn’t find it is funny, when I said be useful I really meant it. I think it is more profound than saying be happy, or, be myself. For me, be myself is one part of be useful. I didn’t laugh, because I meant, be useful. I found that when we discussed another issue, my classmate showed this typical eastern style. Should a paralysed woman choose to die? In my opinion, there’s no correct or wrong, and others can’t justify her death. M argued with the gal who commented “the woman who chose to die is pessimistic” by saying that if you are in that situation, you may choose to die too, you have no right to say she is pessimistic because you don’t know how she’s suffering. I totally agreed with him.

well.. its true that we dunno the situation abt the paralysed person but i did acknowledged that we do not really understand the pain the person is going thru. i believe that attitude towards things determine our actions. everyone has their own opinion on things. =) i dunno much abt philio but judgin how i feel abt things i m slightly more inclined to the oriental philo which explains our diff in view. =) cheeros~ =)

the easiest way not to let others doubt u, is to be sure & proud of the knowledge u have. dun be afraid to flaunt when it's called for. it's like playing cards sometimes. no one really knows what u have until the last draw. =D
Oh, did i tell u tt i took one philo module during my degree? I dunno what i've learnt, but still sat for quizzes, wrote a paper & scored a B for it. Ha. Maybe my counterparts in the US din bother sitting for the tests at all, thats why i still scored. ^0^
