What Brings us Happiness?
Reflection
For my project, I wanted to discover what made me happy, and how to make others happy as well, so I set off with the help of Ori Rehman to see what made us happy. We looked at our own lives to see what we found the most joy in, and went from there. We wanted to do this video because it was a great way to not only show, but to tell in an efficient manner what both Ori and I believed.
this Project made me see a lot of my life differently, in ways I would have never expected. I never really thought about what I believed before this project, because I grew up in a Christian household and at a Christian school. It was fascinating to me how others see the world and how many other beliefs exist in the world. I can't imagine what my philosophy would have been if I had not been shown all these other ideas, and because of that I know my philosophy changed. I think that a lot of my philosophy still aligns with Christianity, because of the way I was raised and it is in me that my philosophy lies. I think that my ethics were highlighted because of this project, there was a lot of talk of ethics that didn't make sense to me, because so many people say they don't follow any kind of specific ethic, and I always believed in having a ethic based on right and wrong. I think that reading Cats Cradle also added to my ethics, because part of the book is about whether religion is a made up part of our existence, that we create to fill the holes in our beliefs, or if it is really true. I struggled with the themes of this book because of the ideas of my peers who agreed that religion is a construct made by us, and so I had to find what I felt was right and wrong through opposition and different opinions. I think that through this project, I found myself looking towards other beliefs more that I would have originally thought, to find if I actually believed something else, but I am stumped by what I believe and I will spend the rest of my life looking for what I believe, but I think that is one of the most beautiful parts of our existence.
I have no idea what questions about my life, philosophy, and ethics that I might have, and I think that I will discover them and their answers throughout my life, naturally and without worry. In my life I will have many struggles that I will have to deal with in my own way, and because of this project, I am questioning what life is, and what kind of life I will lead.
