Fantastic. Glad ur getting more comfortable on camera. even tho I mostly just listen to asmr, i still prefer to see u. Something about putting a face to the voice makes it connect more for me
1 - What is reality? Reality is all things which actually exist, which have been created and not merely imagined. This includes abstract concepts derived from concrete things, such as certain natural laws or socio-political truths, as well as non-visible things such as the spiritual, but not things like fictional stories or characters. 2 - Whence inspiration? There are three sources of inspiration. They might be called spontaneous, deliberate, and external. Spontaneous inspiration arises from unintentional connections that you make. Deliberate are those things which you cultivate and develop through focus and training. External are all inspirations which come from outside your self. It is vital to shape your patterns of thought to make your deliberate sources of inspiration valuable and edifying ones. It is also vital to practice discernment both with spontaneous inspirations and, most importantly, external ones. Having the wisdom to reject baneful inspirations and to embrace good ones is key. Personally, I have cultivated several interests, but most heavily medieval Roman history, which has served as a source of [deliberate] inspiration for a great many things in my life. 3 - Is the most important purpose of life to find happiness? No. There are two most important purposes in life. The first and greatest is to love God with all our heart, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. The second is to be good and faithful stewards of all creation. Everything else is only good insofar as it promotes those two things. 4 - What is beauty? Beauty is alignment with Objective Good. There is beauty in symmetry. There is beauty in harmonious color or sound. There is beauty in bravery, or virtue, or love, or self sacrifice. 5 - What makes one a human? Humans are a unique creature, being possessed of both body and spirit and being made in the image and likeness of our Creator. We are no mere animal, but neither are we a soul "trapped" in a body. 6 - What is my spirit animal? I am partial to the Mongoose. I don't know if it's accurate, but I like and admire them. 7 - Does a name influence personality? I believe that names can and do have an impact. Anyone who has borne a name has impacted the legacy that the name carries. Some names are effectively cursed, while others stand out as great in some way. In my opinion, parents should always be mindful and very intentional about choosing a name for a child, ideally being aspirational in that choice. 8 - Would I change my name? No. Being named for the Evangelist St. Matthew, I think that I have some significant affinity with the legacy which that name carries. 9 - Do I know the meaning of my name? "Gift of God." I like to think that I am more a gift than a burden on the world and those around me. 10 - Can we choose emotions, or are they independent of us? They are both. It is possible to cultivate emotions through mental and spiritual discipline. It is also possible for external forces to attempt to thrust an emotion upon us. Ideally, emotions will be a useful tool but not an overriding factor, and any externally imposed emotion should be examined very carefully before one internalizes it. 11 - Do I believe in fate? I believe in both general and specific purposes, but I also believe in the freedom of the human will. One should strive for one's true purpose (see 3 above), but without the freedom to deviate from it those purposes cannot be accomplished in truth, even if it seems from outside that they have been fulfilled. 12 - Am I an emotional person? I am usually a very steady, stable person, though I am prone to occasional bouts of emotion. I am touched by stories of heroism, virtue, and sacrificial love. I occasionally experience sorrow, some times greatly. Notably, I have not experienced rage since my childhood, for which I am very grateful. 13 - What defines a person in general? A person is a distinct instance of a generalized nature. In the case of a human person, each one is unique in its combinations of all the infinite variables which humanity contains. Notably, a human person is by nature a body and a spirit united. Each individual person, therefore, is differentiated from every other by the unique expression of those two features. Even after death, the person remains both body and spirit, despite them being separated from one another. This is why the bodies of the dead should be treated with respect, for they remain people and thus are still morally valuable. It's also why personhood begins at conception, for a unique body forms and receives a unique spirit in that moment. 14 - What defines me as a person specifically? This one would require an entire essay to work out. I can easily list attributes, but what ultimately makes me a specific person and no other is the unique combination of those attributes. There are many people who share many things with me, but only one who has what I have in the degrees and amounts in which I have them. 15 - Can a human body evolve in the future? Human genetics are subject to entropy, and thus to change. Moreover, mankind is possessed of great capacity for manipulation of nature, so artificial or guided change over time is almost certainly possible. 16 - If my life expectancy were to increase significantly, would I live the same way as I do now? Largely, yes. I might be even more cautious than I already am, as I would have far more to lose should something terrible happen. 17 - If my life expectancy were to decrease significantly, would I live the same way as I do now? No. I would have much more to gain and much less to lose by taking significant risks, so if I knew that I would die in no more than five years then I would probably be far less cautious than I am currently. 18 - What do I think of immortality? Mankind was intended for immortality, but it is a kindness that we do not possess it in this life. The longer one lives, the less susceptible to change one becomes. Immortal beings are effectively frozen as they are. If a man, in the current state of the world, were to become immortal within that world, it would be an unending torment to him and he, in turn, would become a plague upon the world. An immortal creature cannot repent, nor turn aside from its wickedness. Only once the current world is abolished and the new creation is prepared, once all men have been raised from the dead and the faithful have been made righteous according to their faith and obedience to God, while the resolutely wicked have firmly aligned themselves with the demons, will we be made immortal. 19 - Do I believe in a parallel universe? I do not. It is not impossible, but I believe it to be extremely improbable. 20 - Is there anything wrong with being selfish? Selfishness is the root of all wickedness. It corrupts every good thing, making what should be good into evil, and what should heal into something harmful. 21 - What is kindness? True kindness is acting for the benefit of the object of the action. It can easily seem cruel in the moment. 22 - How would I describe myself in three words? Aspirational. Curious. Hopeful. 23 - Do I believe in luck or chance? Yes, but within limits. Much that is often called luck can be predicted with sufficient knowledge, but the freedom of the will requires that completely unrelated decisions by people who will never meet must nevertheless impact the lives of complete strangers in unforeseen and often catastrophic ways. 24 - What is the relationship between the mind and the body? The mind is derived from the interaction of the body and the spirit. A mind's expression within the world can be damaged or destroyed by harm to the body, just as it can be corrupted by harm to the spirit. A mind in proper balance is one which sees the spirit exercise appropriate control over the body. 25 - Should we always follow the rules? It depends on the rules. Any rule which promotes virtue is worthy of being followed. Any rule which promotes wickedness should be rejected. 26 - What about a white lie? If I tell the truth when only harm comes from it, then I am akin to the demons, who lie except when the truth does more damage. A white lie is to be avoided, but sometimes circumstances make a white lie the least harmful option. 27 - Can I remember the last lie that I told? Probably when I said that I was fine or decent enough when asked how I was doing, despite having a headache and a bit of a sinus infection. 28 - Can I tell when people are lying? It depends on the person. Usually I only know someone is lying if I know the truth and they are speaking contrary to it. 29 - What would I like a book about me to say? That I lived a worthy life. It wouldn't be entirely true, but I'd still like for it to be said. 30 - What is my biggest dream? Pie in the sky, to see the abolition of all the pretender governments which currently oppress the peoples of the Mediterranean and to see the restoration of the Christian Roman Empire with its capital in Constantinople. 31 - What is my biggest fear? That I will have aligned myself with the demons instead of with God. 32 - Do I typically remember my dreams? Yes, but not for very long. I have a few which I can still remember, either in whole or in part, sometimes even many years later, but most I wake up and can appreciate for a few moments before they begin to fade. 33 - Do dreams have a deeper meaning? Sometimes, yes. I am certain that I have predicted entire conversations and strings of events in my dreams (classic deja vu). 34 - Is there such a thing as a perfect life? Yes, but only one man has ever lived it. Jesus lived a life of utter and complete obedience to God the Father, without error or deviation. All other men should aspire to that example, and when we fail to meet it we should heed His words and repent, that we might resume our striving.
@@KonanWhispersASMR Thank you for the video and for taking the time to read my answers. I found the questions to be compelling enough that I had to re-watch a couple of time in order to put my thoughts together.
here is my philosophical question for you konan and personal question what does it means to live a good life? and the personal one what are your dreams konan
Living a good life is the ability to put yourself first, to be in balance with your inner world, to have a good and healthy contact with yourself and the world around you. My biggest dream is to reach that good life I described above… and of course to attend a BTS concert🤭
