    Introduction to the
    Philosophy of the Human
    Person
    Quarter 2 – Module 8
    Human Persons as Oriented
    Towards Their Impending Death
    Lesson 1: How does the reality of death define our
    lives? What shall I do before I die? What makes me
    happy?

    WHAT’S NEW?
    Activity 1. RELAX AND REFLECT
    Moments Brought Me Joy
    ● When a typhoon hit our province, I know it was awful to
    the point where we lost a source of electricity as a
    result of what transpired. When we had no source of
    electricity, I would only step outside and just stare at
    the night sky and admire all the stars.
    ● Smoking. I know it sounds strange, but it makes me happy
    when it has the potential to kill me.
    ● Taking psychedelic mushrooms. It made me more stoic than
    before.
    Moments Brought Me Sadness
    ● Every night, sadness can build up inside me, that's why I
    take mushrooms.
    ● When someone gives me the love I don’t think I deserve.
    ●

    ● When I see someone sexier or fitter than me online, which


    makes me feel so worthless because I see myself as a fat
    one, this is also how I had my first experience of an
    eating disorder.

    WHAT’S MORE?
    Activity 3: MY BUCKET LIST

    Personal List of What I Wish to Do to Succeed


    Be free
    Make people believe that marijuana is a good thing and it
    can make our Country richer than ever.
    Split my tongue into two or three.
    Get tattoos and piercings in every part of my body cause
    it's fun to make the most of the present time and give
    little thought to the future.
    I don’t have the courage for suicide, so I’ll just wait
    for someone to kill me.

    a. Because I believe I’m a nihilist, and by that, I don’t need


    to succeed because we’re all gonna die anyway. Despite this,
    I’m still gonna try and live my best life, because when I die
    I’m never coming back and I’ll never be able to live again, so
    let’s make it count.
    b. The first one. I have the power to make myself free or be
    xed out of society.
    c. The last one. Because we all know how hard it is to wait
    right?

    Lesson 2: Why do we suffer?

    WHAT’S NEW?
    Activity 1. SUFFERING IS…

    The time I was in a very problematic situation until now


    is thinking of my course. We know how poor our country
    is. That's why some people migrate or work overseas and I
    easily lose interest in things I do. One day I know what
    3

    I’ll pursue, the next day I lose interest in it. When I


    also know what I’ll pursue I always think of the money
    I’ll get from it, which is very low. Then I realized that
    I’ll take a gap year after I finish this school year. By
    that, I’ll focus more on my mental health while finding
    things I’ll pursue or just find some rich guy that can
    make me a housewife.

    WHAT’S MORE?
    Activity 2. TAKE AWAY, NO WAY
    For me, genuine happiness and peace of mind are the
    things that may be equated to life.

    Activity 3. FROM ME TO YOU


    For the one who suffers in situation 3, there's a subtle
    difference between giving up and knowing when to stop.
    Why not live the best of your life while your time is
    flying away? Do something you love.

    WHAT I CAN DO?


    Nothing, I don’t want to be remembered. I want to be
    forgotten. Actually, I’m not even planning on having a
    child. I want everyone to erase all their memories from
    me.
