Søren Kierkegaard
He is sometimes called a “poet-philosopher” in honor of both his passion and his highly literary experiments in style and form.
I found this to be quite interesting… I never heard of the guy but, Søren Kierkegaard, has quite an arsenal of books that seem to poke my curiousity about his writings…
Ethics are the social rules that govern how a person ought to act. Ethics are not always in opposition to aesthetics, but they must take precedence when the two conflict. The aesthetic life must be subordinated to the ethical life, as the ethical life is based on a consistent, coherent set of rules established for the good of society. A person can still experience pleasure while living the ethical life. The ethical life serves the purpose of allowing diverse people to coexist in harmony and causes individuals to act for the good of society. The ethical person considers the effect his or her actions will have on others and gives more weight to promoting social welfare than to achieving personal gain. The ethical life also affords pleasures that the aesthetic does not. Aesthetics steers one away from consistency, since repetition can lead to boredom. An ethical person doesn’t simply enjoy things because they’re novel but makes ethical choices because those choices evoke a higher set of principles. Kierkegaard uses marriage as an example of an ethical life choice. In marriage, the excitement of passion can quickly fade, leading to boredom and a diminishing of aesthetic pleasure. However, by consistently acting for the good of one’s spouse, one learns that there are enjoyments beyond excitement. Still, the ethical life does little to nurture one’s spiritual self. The ethical life diverts one from self-exploration since it requires an individual to follow a set of socially accepted norms and regulations.
Ahh yes…
Through my readings on blogs I find that there are several people that write about being in love, being out of love, their likes and dislikes, their daily routines, their ups and downs, personal expiriences, movie reviews, general information about something… etc… I forgot my point… I ‘ll let you make one if you’d like…
My point was that… some people hate the fact that other people write what they write… señores… dejen esa gente tranquila… esta es su forma de desahogo… ya sea con una foto, escrituras del amor, noticias, su vida personal, un chisme… right? let them be… I know people don’t read my blog becasue I choose to write in english for the most part… but I read theirs no matter what they write in… I may not comment on it, but I’m a reader.
With that being said… I’m off today! and tomorrow, and Thursday and Friday!! I’m back to working every other week for the next few days… I really needed time to rest and take it easy… I was also offered my old job back so I have some thinking to do… Big meeting on Thursday… Vamos a ver que dicen… I almost forgot to mention that I’m letting my hair grow. I’d like to see how long i can let it grow before it starts to bother me to the point that I need to go to the other extreme of not having any at all…
Interesante… pero por qué en inglés, no es más auténtico hacerlo en español?
hehe… buena pregunta… Lo que pasa es que a mi se me hace mas facil hablar, escribir y leer en ingles ya que tengo mis 26 primaveras viviendo en NJ. Soooooo… deep inside I represent my native homeland as best I can by maintaining the culture and ethics that were instilled in me by my parents and by speaking spanish and learning how to write it. Aunque siempre se me olvida adonde es que va la í, ñ, ó… etc… I actually didn’t know how to write in spanish until I was 16! hehe… pero nah… gracias por leerme y hacer la pregunta 
Edwin,jjaja la verdad que me haces reir. A mi me gusta venir aqui a leer tus cosas y de como va tu vida, solo es que vengo disfrazada del hombre invisible. Cuidate mucho. Y pa’ alante.
