Developing The Idea of Platonism

We are taught that atoms are made up of electrons, protons, neutrons and consist of a nucleus. But what makes up the essentials of life?

Platonism:

the point of view on the nature of the relationship between mathematics and the physical world.

With this belief in mind, let us take it a step further.

This is the understanding that the physical world is determined by math, preferable examples being E=mc^2 and Pi, which within these two, somehow create a whole entire population and universe with numbers and symbols that make up each particle. The idea that math is the basis of our existence can be easy to grow attached too, because math is so hard to understand to some, similar to the answers to the Universe and our existence.

Atom:

the basic units of matter.

Bringing biology into this, I would like to question how numbers and symbols, in whichever way they choose to take form, create a physical world. It makes sense thinking that math is a requirement in school, but I want to know if math is a requirement because of its credibility to the creation of the Universe. We are taught that math is such an important subject, but if this is the case, why has there not been an easier way to perfect it? To understand it?

Is it that those who do not understand will never understand it, meaning that they will never be awakened or enlightened to the truth of our existing Universe and physical selves?

And to those that do understand it, with time, will they will be able to develop a rounded explanation of our existence and reveal to humanity the answers that have been sought for so long?

We are taught that atoms are made up of electrons, protons, neutrons and consist of a nucleus. But what makes up the essentials of life?

Without protons, neutrons, electrons, etc., there are no atoms. Without atoms, there is no life. Without life, there is no physical being. Without physical being, there is no existence. Without an existence, is there still a Universe?

Is there a life that exists beyond our own that has developed this mathematical way of thinking in order to develop a hypothesis and understanding of our existence?

With each question that is unanswered, a new door opens with new questions and new beliefs.

Man is stuck in a never-ending loop hole of unanswered questions and misguided souls.

Do not trust those around you.

Do not trust yourself.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
