BANACH HW #1 9/16

Individuality is when there is something about you that separates you from another human being. I feel that each person that lives on this earth has something that is different about them that makes them stand out from other people around them or even other people in the world. Especially if it is something that happened in there life personally that you can't see on their exterior body.

When Banach says "absolute individuals" he means that people are 100% independent. I totally agree on what he is trying to say. I feel that each person that lives on planet earth is fully independent because of the fact that everybody goes through different experiences. Even if they are similar, every body's situation is handled differently, therefore, you can't ever determine how someone is feeling. I also agree when he says that each person is an absolute individual because the only real thing you can get from a human being is their exterior. That's the only thing that you can judge. I say that because you can never know how someone can feel unless they tell you or your god. And when Banach follows up and says "Each of us is trapped within our own mind, unable to feel anything but our own feelings and experiences" that right there sums up what I am trying to say. So when he says that each person is an absolute individual, i agree because people don't know how someone feels since that is an internal issue that they face.

" What can the absolute freedom of absolute individuals mean" says Banach

Hmmmmmmm.....

I feel it means that humans live there own life, they have their own experiences, and they can judge anybody they want. To have their Absolute freedom, it's having the right to choose what you want to do or having the choice to say or do what you want. like specifically speaking,
you can have the choice of sharing out your judgments on somebody or having the choice to keep it to your self. When you as a person that can be judged only on the outside, you have the freedom to do as you please. (except to violently hurt somebody of course or do something to break the law unless you really don't care about consequences)
I wouldn't say that he is right about us as individuals being alone in this world, but I would say that I agree with him when he says that people don't know how other people are feeling internally. I agree with this part of his statement because if you think of it like someone being sad. How would you know that this person is sad if they don't express it on their external body? how would you know the experiences that they had can ever be similar to anybody else's? How do you you know how they are feeling about someone or something if they don't mention it? These are reason's why I can believe his theory about individuals being "alone" in this world. But if he was right about us being alone in this world, that we won't be able to perceive the world around us, and that we weren't able to connect to people, it would most definitely concern me. If we couldn't connect with anybody, how would we be able to express our feelings when we need somebody to talk to? How would we be able to see the world around us? most importantly, How would we live LIFE? To me, if I didn't have those things in my life I would most likely feel like I am a individual that can only talk to his self. It would feel more like a deaf and blindness put together. we would not exist to no one.
