Who Am IA Chapter by Saddam Abu GhaidaHello there, It’s
a silly Question don't you agree, everybody will answer that question pretty
fast without any kind of hesitation, but if the question is that silly can
you answer why the philosophers asked that question and tried to find the
answers for that silly question across the history. From Plato
to Nietzsche everybody tried to define who I am. You know that I starting
reading about philosophy and theology since I was 18 years old and now I’m 32, And
still I couldn't find the answers that I’m looking for, maybe because I was
looking in the wrong direction. Recently I was
rereading a couple of books; the outsider for Colin Wilson, the outsider and
the plague for Camus. After finishing them I started wondering if the
definition of absurdity has been tailored for me in a since, because this
is what I feel deep down inside for some time. I stopped caring for anything.
I'm not happy nor sad about anything comes across my sight, I don’t have any
kind of emotions toward anything in my life or any kind of attachments to the
things I used to like, love or hate. I feel pretty separated from
my surroundings. so a friend of mine told me that it seems I have
a severe depression, but how can I be depressed when I feel pretty relaxed
like I never did before; I really have no idea nor care to find one. Back to the same
question; How am I. if it was couple of years back I’m pretty sure that I’m
going to say that I’m someone who doesn't want to be left
without being mentioned in the history, I have a lot of plans for the future
fame money family kids .... etc.; same old stories that we recite over and over
again in our minds, but when you ask me now my answer will be
totally different. I am a man with no plans for future no matter how tiny
it was, nor expecting anything wither it is bad or good, I don’t care that much
about people and their emotions nor do I feel empathy toward them. I’m pretty
singular like it has been defined in mathematics "(of a square
matrix) having a zero determinant". I'm neither happy nor sad, nor I could
feel regret, somehow careless for cognitive point of view, and the funny
thing about it I know for sure that this definition will be altered
or omitted in the future but I don’t care less. Because all the
definitions we shape at some point of time things comes and change it
radically, and the reason why definition changes. It changes because
of our experiences and how did we perceived it, taking
into consideration our mental maturity factor, because a lot of people go
through different experiences in their lives and still it doesn't add up anything
on their being. It’s funny how
often I remember Nietzsche's and the way he perceives this life and human
entity, and one of the most funny things about him that he wrote his philosophy
without caring that much if anybody read it or understands it, he wrote it for himself
and he felt the urge of writing something. Why it is funny, because
this is what I feel when I’m writing something. Who am I to change somebodies
way of thinking or to shake his core? Everybody is responsible for his core, if
you get what I mean. Somebody
will perceive my words as me being lost, or I’m putting to
many psychological barriers between me and me, all this psychological
analysis and profiling always makes me laugh; a whole science was based
on perceptions and interpretations definitely it will be so
funny. I will end up this blabbering bay mentioning the fact or at least
it is my fact "Psychology
pretty similar to philosophy, and they are pretty similar in a way that both of
them are food for the mind and consumes the mind, and when they are done they
start to consume your heart" © 2012 Saddam Abu Ghaida |
