I am working on a paper for my Philosophy course regarding "self."
What is our "self" and are we our "self' if we die?
Do we have a soul?
Does our soul exist when we die?
What creates us?
Our personalities, our desires?
What creates a "self" in life.
Is there more than just human life in a human body?
Do we reincarnate? If we reincarnate, do we remain our "self" or do we reincarnate to someone else and so on?
This paper has me thinking hard about life and it's limitations of knowledge. What do you think about it? Is there some explanation of life beyond what we are told to think? Should we not question every aspect of teachings as Socrates once proclaimed? I am in awe of my ignorance at this point in my life. I have absolutely no idea! Do you?
