Freedom and Bad Faith: The Myths We Live In

in philosophy •  8 years ago  (edited)

Recent life experiences have silenced me in some aspects and I had become accustomed to not being listened to. I guess the saying holds true (I'm probably not stating this accurately): speak the truth even if your voice shakes. The right people will find you and be all too willing to listen at least this is part of what I would include in my version of Quest Physics. I borrowed that term from Eat, Pray, Love as Elizabeth Gilbert likely has the best version to date: “I've come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call "The Physics of The Quest" — a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: "If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself... then truth will not be withheld from you." Or so I've come to believe.”

My life is a permanent truth-seeking journey just like @knozaki2015 and @heiditravels on here ... and the truth shall set your free :)

P.S. Post idea #2: Which philosopher from history would probably gain the biggest following on Steemit today? For me: Socrates ;)

Actually it would be someone in contemporary times. He uses philosophy, social media, and film making to produce excellent inspiring philosophical rifts. His name is Jason Silva. I will post a video below as well.
