Jenny had asked: What is one philosophical question that you think can be answered and what is one that can never be?
I personally feel that many questions could fall into both parts of the question. What's great about philosophy is that it seems like we will never know everything, and questions will always arise; but will they be able to be answered?
I feel the number of questions that cannot be answered outweigh the number of questions that can be answered.
A question that I believe wouldn't be able to be answered is what most people ask; what is the point of life? I often find myself pondering over that myself... Are we to live and deal with what we are given, and die happy in the process of trying to reach person nirvana and divinity? Who knows?!
A question that is answerable (trying to steer away from what we talked about in class today), how do we define success?
My question for you is: How would you personally define a successful life? What are some aspects that need to be achieved to call it a successful one?
