What is Buddhism?

Buddhism is a way of practice spiritual development to help to find the meaning of the true nature. Buddhism does not believe that we have a soul or "self" because they believe that everything is life dies or decay. They do not believe in any kind of God neither. The believe that everything that a person do has its consecuences. Buddhism is so different from another religions, principally because they do not believe in a God, that it is questionable if it is a religion or not. Buddhism taught that believing in gods was not helpful because then people would not find the enlightment.
These are the three noble truths of Budda: The Noble Truth of Suffering, The Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering, The Noble Truth of Cessation of Suffering, and The Noble Truth of Path that Leads to Cessation of Suffering.

What do you think about Buddhism?

Answering julia's question

Julia's question is if i would like to be immortal?. I don't think that i would like to live forever. I would not like to live forever because all my family and friends would not be alive with my and i feel like everything would be so boring and sad at the same time. I think that live would not be the same without my family and my lovely friends. I feel like my family is everything for me and without them i would feel death anyways. Another reason why i would not like to be immortal is because i may get bored of the world itself. I think that if i live to long i would get tired of all the troubles, war, and sadness that the world have inside. People get tired even of the beauty and i think that everyone have to born and then die, it is just live.


Would you like to live forever?

Evil

According with Darwin , he stopped believing in God when he found out his theory of evolution because he started having doubt about the Bible and how the world was create. As the book Who Are We by Louis P. Pojman, " Darwin himself, though trained as clergyman, was deeply trouble by the problem of evil, which caused him to doubt his faith and eventually, but reluctantly give up belief in God." He said that this where evil starts when we as human start think about stories like religions and others. Evil can be the creativity and all the stories or capacity that humans have to create them. Another thing that went wrong was that human started walking upright. But this have consequences like back pain, trouble breathing, and even stomachs problem. Between the years humans being have been developing and it has it advantages but disadvantages too.

What are the main features of Darwinian evolutionary theory?

In response to Karla's question

Karla's question is, Do you think that humanity will get to a point at which nature will stop to exist?. i think that in the universe there is going to get to a point where t many humans being are going to be living at the same time. I mean there is only a certain amount of weight that the universe can hold and on top of that the nature resources are not going to be enough to sostain the whole universe. Right now we can notice that some countries do not have the enough food to sustain their own country, for example Africa, where many people die yearly a cause of the hunger. I think that when we stop having food, which i think that we are not to far from this to happen, human beings are going to start dying slowly but at the end all people will die.


Do you think this will happen?

Darwin Theory of Evolution

Darwin theory of evolution states that all human life comes from our ancestors like species that were here billions of years before us like fishes and then the homo sapiens. Darwin made experiments and investigated about his theory about evolution. For example he used the fossil record, showing gradual development from simple life forms to more complex ones; the homologous structure of life forms; vestigial organs, such as the appendix and tailbone; and geographical similarities, he used all of this to prove his theory. The church was no happy with his theory because it putted in doubt the Bible and God words. People in this era started think that the Bible may no be true because the Bible does not have any prove about what it is saying but Darwin had prove about what he was saying.

Did Darwin had the enough prove to prove his theory?

A absurd thing of life

There are so many irrational things that people do in life or say; but there is one that really catch my attention and it is a phase that says that live your life at the fullest because you can die tomorrow or something like that i really don't know the exact words. If people think that way they may spend the day doing things that they like to do and say or the things that they want to say to the people that they love or people that they hate. I personally do not think this way because i truly do not believe in this phase. I think that people sure think first in their actions and things that they are going to do because you can hurt people or do things that you would regret the next day if you do not die as the phase says. I think that we should be cautious with the things that we say and do because it can have really bad results at the end.

What would you do the last day of your life?

Answering Karla's question

Karla's questiong is if i would prefer to have a night without dreams, or night with dreams? and why? i think i would prefer to have a night without dreams. Everytime that i have dreams at night i feel like my brain was not resting, that it was working all the time and when i get up in the morning i feel like i did not sleep the last night at all. Even though the scientifics say that every night people have dreams even though they cannot remember it. So i think that i would prefer not to have dreams and if i have dreams not to remember them. I dont believe about the theories of dreams, they say that dreams are your wishes and fears but i dont thing that it is true but in another hand i dont have prove to prove it wrong. I think that dreams are your thoughts in you unconciousness that is why i think that human does not the mean of them because they are just thought that sometime does not even make sense for the people that think of them.

Would you prefer to have dreams every night?

Infant Dreaming

I was investigating about infant dreaming by Freud but i did not find any information about it, i guess that Freud only wrote about adult dreaming. I am not surpresi about this because Freud was the first person in the world who wrote about dreams. I found information about infant dream in the Scince Maganize, they said that infants dreams more than adults because of the amount of sleeping that they spend during the day. The Science Maganize said, "As babies grow and their brains mature, the amount of time that they spend in the REM (rapid eye movement) state gradually decreases. The REM is directly linked to the brain development. A maturing brain needs less and less REM sleep. This is why adults dream less than babies." The Science Maganize said that there is not way to find out what babies dream about but they know that their dreams are more vivid and visual than the adults dreams.

Why humans do not have the ability to understand dreams?

Freud's Theory About Dream Repression

Freud theory of dream repression is all about repressing the ideas or thoughts that we dont want to think about or do it when we are awake in our lives. It is like when we do something wrong we dont want anybody to know about it, so during the day you act as nothing had happened and put it behind out head and dont think about but at night when we are sleeping we dream about because it is on our unconsciouness, and we cannot control our unconsciouness. Sometimes if we do something bad and we repress it in our memory at night we would have nightmares and sometime we would not going to be able to go to sleep well that night. All of this is a result of bad actions or bad things that had happened in somebody's life. Anothere dream repression may be something that we really want to do in our life but that we are unable to do it for any circuntances in our present life. We will dream about it and think about during the day so we are repressing the idea of doing this actions but at night when we are asleep with dream about it and it comes to life.
Can we control our dreams?

Interpretation of dreams

Dreams have been a great mistery in the world because no one can really tell what they mean. Many people tried to figure them out like Freud, his interpretation of dreams says that when we go to sleep with lose the control of our consciousness so we start dreaming about what we repress in our mind during the day. Fread says, " the interpretation of dreams is the royal road to knnowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind...A dream is a (disguised) fulfillment of a (supressed or repressed) wish." When i was a little kid my mom used to say that dreams are the way of our mind to express what we really want to be or do. I believe what my mom said and i believe in Freud theory of dreams too. Human always dreams about what they want to do or be, but sometimes humans have weird dreams that nobody knows the mean of them.

What is your theory of dreams?
