Ultimate Purpose and Selflessness (a narrative in philosophy)


Ultimate Purpose and Selflessness

 

by ben yosaf aperitif

 

When one aims to carry out an endeavor, he hopes to gain by it, yet there is a force inside humankind that impels many to act with selfless intentions and actions, and then, we ask, in this case, what is the purpose that motivates?  One is able to do good things in order to bring about happiness into one’s life, from prolonging and deepening friendship to a romantic relation to working a career to committing oneself to further education and learning.  On the other hand, some commit themselves to lives of service, volunteering their time, even boldly risking their lives, for the willingness to bring about a good change in the world and betterment to the life of their neighbors and comrades.  In this latter case, the lesser common one, what is it that motivates us?  It is my thesis that to live a life of selfless giving, one upholds in herself a stately framework of fulfilled and grateful, overall happy, harmony, that extends out of hard-work, loyalty to family, peers and others, good deeds, and perseverance and commitment, from whence comes the hope, wishes, and dreams to bring about good will and good endeavors to enact more happiness and good days for the people beside herself, a positive yearning which enables her to feel an alacrity of stately peace, fulfillment, and gratitude for life, love, and God.

We are here where we are, in stillness or in dance or in ambles or strident movement, etc., and all this love, all this love, bombards us, eats us up like a shell, moves us in the inner and outer, pines us to do well. In the hearty song or the sweet indigo royalty of the poems crunch and rub, one can feel more alive in words and musicality and the right kind of swaying and pithy certainties. As we feel alive, we come into crispness of our day, moving the right way our love, doing it with the right good intentions, for the right people, with an ultimate purp...

The Self-world

 The Self-world by ben yosaf aperitif The way to understand one's concepts of the internal life of the mind is to ascertain the distinction between the interior and the outer of one's personhood.  We see that the body is a extrinsic materialistic property, fungible, plastic, identifiable in permutation of shape, ostensibly identifiable in the realm of sight; the mind, on the other hand, cannot be seen and is of the world of the unseen.  This creates a sense of duality in the two modalities of substance constitution of which one is able to ascertain in selfhood.  The two are not, however, implicitly distinguishable, in the overall equation of the human person, as the mind is the control-center of the body, totally in terms of involving the unconscious and semi-conscious processes, and that it is located within the interior of the person where the likeness of organs, valves, and enzymes bring about a way of shaping and running the full apparatus, where the inside of th...
