Ang sabi ni prof.
Sa discussion namin kanina about sa aesthetic judgements, binigay ng prof namin ang perspective ni Kant about love. This is what he said: "Love is not owning the person" And he gave us an example about the flower. He differentiated like and love. Kung GUSTO mo ang isang magandang bulaklak, ang gagawin mo ay pipitasin mo. Pero kung "MAHAL" mo yung bulaklak hindi mo pipitasin ito at hahayaan mo siya na mapreserve ang beauty niya. "May pagmamahal na hinahayaan kang maging ikaw" Siyempre bakit mo siya minahal kung babaguhin mo siya diba? Minahal mo siya kung sino siya kaya hayaan mo siya maging siya. At eto pa . Remember posts about "ideal girl" or "ideal boy" Ang sabi samin, wala naman talagang ganyan eh. The one you call "ideal" is of course your own standards in someone. He taught us NOT TO EXPECT your partner to be ideal. You SHOULD NOT find love. LET LOVE FIND YOU. Sabi ni prof "WAG MO HANAPIN" , "WAG KA MAG EXPECT" . Because if ever nahanap mo yung ideal someone mo , at the end of the day, you are not committed to the person, but you are committed to the "ideal" standards you have set. Bottomline , for me, never find your "ideal" someone kase mafufrustrate ka lang because you expect too much to the standards na para sayo is the perfect boy or perfect girl para sayo.
