Postmodernism gave me a different outlook on life and the way society runs and act. People in the world tend to care less about other individuals than themselves; it's a pretty harsh world out there but true. When you take a very blunt but very honest person into consideration think of them as doing you a favor because they go straight to the central idea instead of dreading to admit the truth and doubting that the their opinions actually matter. In all honesty those kind of people care and if it weren't for them then how would our community even come to terms. Well, I am mentioning this today in my blog because it compares to the fact that in our somewhat "wholesome" society we tend to not look at the big cheese of things and as postmodernism continues to show, life can be difficult to comprehend if you do not accept the different thoughts of others and their well-being. It is like a competition to see who is better but in reality everyone has to come together in order to proceed in a well developing country.
I even remember in the last question, it mentioned something about the nature of postmodernism and that is when you can include religion as an demonstration to how this world functions. For example, the author describes how Buddhism is the perfect definition of everything going on in this piled mass of connecting wires. This religion isn't just focusing on one socratic circle or individual but a whole mob of each and every different person. It obtains the views of others and when you take Catholicism, Mormon, or Christianity for instance they tend to make you focus on one single individual which is jesus, or god or any type of other powerful form of leader. But in Buddhism people follow the monk or Buddha but when you observe the religion it is not as difficult to follow along with other than other religions and their strict dieting and such; this is not a bash on how other religions are not as good to enlighten humanity with cooperation and understanding of other opinions and connect the world as one, but it is rather a lesson to learn that Buddhism is like a peaceful well put together basket that accepts anything and takes that soul minded person and include it into their vast connection of society.
"Accepting" is the key factor in this and how this religion does not deny any outcast and looks at the world in such an open-minded but wise way puts us in a pickle jar to think about the unfinished business we need to complete. Meaning that this vast progressing postmodern world equals the idea of how a Buddhist thinks and operates. The main big central idea is a combination of all the smaller ideas put together.....and this is how life is. Each and everyone of us put forth all our self worthiness and voices in this web of forces to form one huge central outlook on life and that's is when we wait to see how far it takes us in the future.. :D

I have to agree with you when you say that “People in the world tend to care less about other individuals than themselves; it's a pretty harsh world out there but true.” It is sad that people are this way, especially people living in America. Living in this Capitalist country, all people do is worry about their money and try to find a way to make more of it which is pretty disgusting. Not only are people selfish with their cash but also with other people’s viewpoints too. They cannot accept the fact that there are other people who do not believe in the same ideals as they do. That is why Buddhism is the most legit way of life on the real. You are a different religion; it is all good. You are a homosexual; we accept you. You are poor; that does not matter. Like Postmodernism for Beginners says, “Buddhism is democratic, cool, practical, inexpensive, and… politically correct.” In my opinion, Buddhism is not just a religion but a way of life.

ReplyDeletelol like i said before on Andrew's blog... very naace picture lol
OK
Pam your blog was very intersesting and funny to read. When you talked about how the harsh truth about reality that caught my attention and BAM your blog just sucked me in lol..... that sounds funny but you made some really good points. For example, when you talked about "Accepting is the key factor in this and how this religion does not deny any outcast and looks at the world in such an open-minded but wise way puts us in a pickle jar to think about the unfinished business we need to complete. Meaning that this vast progressing postmodern world equals the idea of how a Buddhist thinks and operates." I really like it how you compared it to a Buddist, and how there ways of life work... Also when you stated that this reminds of us about the unfinished business we have yet to get to:)
Ok so Pam…. The first thing I would like to say is that your blogs are always so interesting to read and for some reason I end up smiling when I read your blog! Anyways, I agree with the your statement about how “"Accepting" is the key factor in this and how this religion does not deny any outcast and looks at the world in such an open-minded but wise way puts us in a pickle jar to think about the unfinished business we need to complete”. The first half of this is what I am going to focus on because I do believe that religion does not deny people and it does look at the world without judgment, which many people today are the opposite of. I also agree when you said that the “main big central idea is a combination of all the smaller ideas put together” because that is similar to what I wrote in my blog! Well overall I really enjoyed reading your blog!
