Paper

The extensive possibilities in one blank of paper are unimaginable. Where would we be with out ideas, poetry, literature, arithmetic and art. Yes some of the listed items could exist with out paper, but for how long?  Paper empty and white with nothing at all can be everything you could ever think of. Is being remembered not what we all strive for? Humans like money, power and success. But why? in the end don't we all want a legacy something to leave behind, weather it be big or small we all have the need to exist and to be recognized by each other. I agree with  Hegel, we all need some other being to exist. If  no one has a memory of you, if no one knows your name if no one knows what you did if no one ever reads about you, do you really exist. I'm not saying that we need to be famous to exist its as simple as one other person animal or plant acknowledging you. If you plant a three well then that three becomes proof of your existence. If you write a book then other will read your thoughts, and if you have child then you live one in them. We all impact our world, as individuals we can choose in what ways we do.  

Kierkegaard

In reflection about both Nietzsche and Kierkegaard each have different methods for thinking when it comes to the human condition, with Nietzsche thinking of the Will to Power and Kierkegaard thinking about his atheistic, and faith stages "the teleological suspension of the ethical". However I found the ways they understand this things are not opposites. Nietzsche tends to focus on the present and how to find fulfillment as a human, Kierkegaard focuses on attempting to escape this suffering through religion. I found that Nietzsche's argument seemed more reasonable but that Kierkegaard's argument was more applicable. Faith is important to groups of people around the world. It doesn't matter whether his theory is correct, the idea that one can scape their troublesome life through faith is appealing and in some odd way more realistic than following ones own desires. Faith gives many a motivation to live, the idea that there is soemthing bigger than you and that your individual life has value. Though I found Nietzsche's philosophy more convincing and reasonable, it also seems depressing. Kierkegaard's philosophy didn't really contain much reasoning or facts but it seemed "nice" the idea that all we need to do is trust in a higher power, I found it comforting and interesting, though I don't know if I could ever reach the highest state of any of these philosophies.

Time

Time tends to be an abstract idea. I'm very used to having things scheduled recently I realized about how ridiculous it is to have to schedule time to rest or relax. I like the idea of will to power, I don't think i'll ever be able to achieve it but recently it keeps popping into my head. SAT subject tests, extended essay, CAS, and college apps, and extra curricular activities all seem to be taking most of my time. I cant remember the last time i just rested, rested without having to plan it. I keep waiting for break, I tell myself it'll be a good time to catch up. It seems that thats what human life consists of, catching up. Trying to keep your head above the water, knowing that floating would just be easier. Drive doesn't seem to lack many, everyone has a purpose. I keep thinking about  Nietzsche, now did he go insane. When did the world stop making sense, or perhaps to much sense. Why must we make sense of everything, aren't some things best left to belief. Belief, Religion,imagination and literature our one escape away from our life. This is why I like dreams, I see them as moments of suspended reality or,a reality in their own right. I mostly rambled in this post, I don't really know what  the purpose was or if it even had one.
