Who Am I ?

Subject: Who Am I ? Sat Jan 10, 2009 5:42 am

Well, today I am going to address a message to you not only as students, teachers...etc, but mainly as HUMANS. I am ging to talk about something we ignore or may be we don't want to know about it. You may feel bored if I started talking, but be patient, it will take you just minutes,and do whatever you like, then.

Suppose your self you're passing a test at school, university or even tests for getting a job. A test may remind of questions; if I am not wrong, you are going to do your BEST to answer the question (s) you've been asked, Am I wrong? But, have you ever tried answering these questions: Who Am I? What's my function in this life? And what have I done since I was born in such world?

The idea of existance is old as man. Yet, peoples opinions differ. I did I research aand I summed up that there are two main opposed views. One group believes that there are three main principles which determines a man's functions in this life:

-Eating.
-Sleeping.
-Having sex.

Defending this idea, years passed, Jean Paul Sarter said that the body creates the man. He made this clear when he said: "I think, so I." . The "I" here stands for the body. That is, as some if not many believes in, a man is the body and nothing more. But, if this is true, what differentiates us from animals,then?

The second groups, according to my research, denies the previous notion. That is, a man, for them, is more than a body. In this respect, Decart highlights on the importance of mind, for he said in his famous saying: "I think, so I am"-Je pense donc je suis.

Here, I would like to come back to the idea of life; life means a process, this last one means that there is/are change(s). When we mention change we've to mention creativity. But, what have we created for our families, our nation(s), and even for ourselves?.. What have we done in this life?!

The absence of creativity means killing our minds. So, what would be the imporatance of me without a mind? And, then, Who Am I?

In fact, you've reminded us of something very important; something as you said in your speech we don't want to know about it, even it's the core of me and you and all humans.

If you have never sat alone and asked yourself who you are and how you came into being, then take it for granted that you still don’t exist. Until you develop your own independent thought, speak out your mind, and establish your kingdom; you will never find a way to freedom and self-actualization. I have been undergoing awkward moments since my adolescence, struggling to set a balance between …

Cultural diversity has fueled a hot controversy more than ever before. The world has become such a small castle because of several rampant scientific revolutions diffusing all over the world and making communication so complex, fuzzy, and multi-dimensional.

In regard to this breathtaking state of human life, it appears that human existence is in need of many metaphysical conditions like safety, …

One of the best ways to improve one’s way of teaching is the action taken to globally evaluate our performance in class during the whole year. Evaluating one’s way of teaching and reflecting on it provide the teacher with a precious opportunity to notice his or her points of strength as well as the areas that need improvement. Yet, the way the global evaluation of our performance is done is …

Many of the norms people are used to were a set of abnormal beliefs and practices. The tendency to hold power, status, and fame was and is still one of the most predominant triggers of society’s irrational mind. The later becomes tangible via the normalization of the abnormal on the account of the norms, which must be determined by …

Though culture changes through time, norms may not. They drive us to behave this way and not that one. Our behaviour, then, is cultural but not necessarily a correct one. Virginity of woman, for instance, is necessary, otherwise society would reject her; even it was the force of circumstance that was the cause behind losing it. What about man, doesn't he have virginity to keep? We're still in a …

Instead of tackling other points on the issue of equality between woman and man, we're still in conflict with each other,thinking of who is right and who is wrong. we're still in doubt whether woman has the right to behave as a human or should be treated as doing with animals. Isn't she one of God's creatures? Don't we recall His saying: "O! People we created you from the same male and …

While a person dreams of becoming someone else, norms drive him down to remain as he is. A person always longs for a new future, yet norms reject but sticking to an old past. We have been imprisoned since the moment we were born, yet, fortunately, we are capable to get back our freedom by the time we grow up and develop self-awareness. To …
