Activity 1. # Oh my gosh, look at me !

Directions: Read & reflect the statement of Roberto D. Abella and answer briefly
and concisely the following questions. Write your answer in the space
provided. Guide questions will draw out knowledge, ideas, and insights the
way you understand certain things.

“A big part of living is spent pondering many questions, and our lives became
more meaningful because we search for answers to these innumerable
questions. This is the essence of Philosophy-the search for answers to life’s
questions.”

Roberto D. Abella

Processing questions :

1. What do you think is the subject/topic? Describe the subject.

I think Roberto D. Abella's statement is all about wisdom. An idea that we
should seek every day by pondering many questions so that we can live a
meaningful life.

2. What kind of qualities that an individual must possess?

To achieve wisdom, an individual should possess the qualities of being a critical
thinker and doubtful about things.

3. In everything you do, do you think it will last long? Support your
answer.
No, because science says that the brain deletes old memories so we can have a
new one.
Ascertain one’s answer is a self-evaluation that allows us to check our own work and
performance. Through self-check mechanism, there is a chance to improve what has
been weakly done and enhance further, what has been properly done.

3. Base on this activity, what is Philosophy?

For me, Philosophy is the ability to understand an idea by analyzing and thinking
critically about it or being doubtful about things around us to understand the
ideas that are attached to it, and I think by doing it, you will gain wisdom.
