Document Summary

22, 2017 freedo(cid:373) is (cid:271)ou(cid:374)d (cid:449)ith respo(cid:374)si(cid:271)ilit(cid:455); artre"s idea of freedo(cid:373) is a(cid:271)out se(cid:374)se of wholeness (being centre of universe), individualization ex-istence. When we create a definition, we are saying that is the right one (decision) No point in complaining because nothing foreign has decided who/what we are. Politi(cid:272)s is height of i(cid:374)authe(cid:374)ti(cid:272)it(cid:455); defi(cid:374)itio(cid:374) of politi(cid:272)ia(cid:374) i(cid:374) greek s(cid:455)ste(cid:373) is (cid:455)ou (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t (cid:271)e o(cid:374)e u(cid:374)less (cid:455)ou"re do(cid:374)e good, (cid:373)oder(cid:374) defi(cid:374)itio(cid:374) is (cid:455)ou (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t do good u(cid:374)less (cid:455)ou are. Authenticity is fleeting; only realize in the moment when your existence becomes meaningless. Own liberty can only make sense for me if i want it for everyone else. Each person possesses existential freedo(cid:373) that (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t (cid:271)e i(cid:374)(cid:272)reased/de(cid:272)reased. Words collect meaning, and every time you use one all the meanings collected in it are all present; someone hearing you using that word has a different collection of meanings for that word. Has to be some kind of ethic in individuality + freedom.
