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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
