Is the box full or empty? You decide.

What was really in that mystery box? It it my guess that there was nothing but possibly a penny or something very small in it but that is besides my point. Your whole life is a mystery box waiting to be opened because you never know what is going to happen until it happens. You can't prepare yourself for what is going to happen 20 years from now, and you had no way of preparing yourself for what has already happened. Life is exactly like the mystery box, no one has any knowledge about how your life will turn out. People believe that God has our life set out before we are even conceived but how do we know that is actually true? It is what ties ethics into our knowledge because although we are told that, we have no evidence to support it but people still believe it. The mystery box of life could be filled with absolutely nothing and if it actually existed, people would believed it might possibly contain the answers to any question asked. We don't always use all our areas of knowledge to prove that we actually know something. Most of the time, we only use certain areas depending on what we are trying to prove. The mystery box will never be opened because they nysteriousness of it is what makes it important. The fact that we cannot plan for the future because things change or the fact that we cannot change what has already happened. It is important to understand that there is a mystery box in everything we do because really, if you think about something long enough, you will not come up with an answer or a conclusion, you will simply find yourself asking more questions (atleast that is what I find myself doing sometimes).

Is it what you see that matters?

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." This quote explains what many people often forget: perspectives. This quote explains that what we see might be important to us but to others, it is not. Some people may think one thing is important when really it is only their perspective on the item and not what other see as being important. The perspective people have on things can depend on their opinion, their knowledge, their beliefs and also their view of the subject.

Our perspectives change as we grow older and wiser because we learn more things and more to support what we know and understand. This becomes key when asking questions to people because you must take into consideration their areas of knowledge, their amount of knowledge and their ethics. Ethics play a large role in our perspectives because there are different ways that different groups of people see the world and everything in it. Some may believe that what we see infront of us is all that the world consists of, while others may believe that there is more out there than meets the eye and that there is far more to understand about the world than we have discovered.

Therefore, " It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye" is a wonderful quote because it explains that not all people see the same things or have the same perspectives on everything. Everyone differs in their perspectives and the way they see the world. If we all has the same perspective, what would the world be like? Would we all be the same, act the same and think the same? Would there be no difference among people?

Which is which? What is what?

Reason is more important for many reasons. You need to have reason when making decisions, you need reasons when putting words to actions and reason is important for us to use when deciding what we know and understand. Reason aides us in make decisions because we use it to decipher between what is good or bad. It also relates to our morals because they have reason behind them as to why we believe what we believe and why we believe it. If we didn't have reason as to why we believed it, we would be lying to ourselves about our beliefs. Reason is important to our knowledge in many ways. Knowledge and reason tie together because we need reason to have knowledge. Without reason for our knowledge, it would be useless.
I also was bored and looking up different awareness videos on YouTube and found this one. Its crazy how unobservant people can be when we know what we are looking, we still me some of the little things. This video asks you to count the number of letter "f"s that there are in a simple sentence. I failed.
