The root of political problems

My beloved reader, there is a term I'd like you to be familiar with before I begin to write more articles. It is a word that is philosophical. For some, it is difficult to understand. To some it is real, and to some it is fake. I, however, would like to change this, by telling you that this is the way the world works, and this is why we have many of our problems that aren't just political, but everywhere in the world. Are you ready?

The word is existentialism.

Existentialism is, by the www.dictionary.com definition, "a philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts. " In other words, it means that you see life differently than everybody else. You basically create your own reality through your knowledge and experiences.

Why is this philosophy so true? Well, let's look at the technology of cloning; for decades, man has desired to make a carbon copy of his or herself. To talk to someone, to be with someone who is exactly like them in every way. This is impossible. As soon as the clone becomes living, it has experienced something different than you, and is therefore a different person because it reflects on life differently.

Do you see what I mean? His life is seen differently. Existentialism forms what we call "opinions." Opinions can be based on facts and experience, making them unique to each person. It's what makes us individuals. Without existentialism, the world would be, as some readers have argued, "very boring." A boring world is the least of their worries. It would be a communist big brother society.

Like most things, existentialism is not without its faults. Although it blesses us with life and meaning, it also gives us the curse of disagreeing with one another on different topics. We argue because of our opinions through this philosophy and fact of life.

Now put two and two together and see this: the reason politics are so heavily debated is because existentialism makes us believe different things.

Is this a good or bad thing? That's a question that is also subject to opinion.

So, once one figures this out, they may begin to think about how existentialism affects their life, and how it affects the life of others around them. In this blog, I will be talking about existentialism in relation to politics. Because without that lovely word, we wouldn't have Republicans and Democrats of liberals and conservatives; we'd have a single soul put into several billion different bodies.
