Topic > Reflection on HU 210 - 793

What distinguishes two physically similar human beings? What if they were the same age, the same body structure, grew up in the same neighborhood, went to school together, and had many friends in common but didn't call each other a friend? Our inner world places us in separate groups where, most of the time unintentionally, we choose people from particular groups and not others. Each person's life philosophies, preferences in music, art, literature, and entertainment, and different ways of apprehending human acts become more apparent to us as we age. “Religion is an integral part of the daily lives of billions of people around the world (Janaro & Altshuler 315).” Many people's philosophies that guide a person's life choices come from religious teachings. One of the main ideas that underlies many beliefs is that we should treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves. When we tend to focus on the feelings and thoughts of others, we become less self-centered and more thoughtful of those around us. Although every decision essentially focuses on oneself, the outcome of positive actions towards another impacts the individual's outlook on life in different and unexpected directions. It is almost impossible to predict the influence that will be caused by a random act of kindness towards a person or company. Any choice made by a person contains one or more philosophies that justify the selection. Knowledge of all possible thought ideas is not necessary to make a right decision. Our upbringing, environment, peers and other small and almost invisible parts of our lives influence the path we follow in order to find the meaning of life. Unfortunately, many people conclude that physical pleasure leads... to the center of the card... we must be. This lesson played an important role in opening the doors of the inner world and letting everything that was collected for the future past decade to pour into the memory and brain. The overload of familiar poems, prose, music, art, plays, and other items discussed in HU 210 was followed by excitement and nostalgia at the same time. Many religions and philosophies discussed throughout the semester help you practice tolerance and understanding of others and their beliefs. The thoughtfulness and acceptance of human beings bring peace and forgiveness to this world. Works Cited Coelho, Paulo. “The Alchemist”. HarperCollins Publishers, New York. 1998.
