These statement really bothered me when attending my Philosophy class. Our teacher asked us if we were the product of our own decision and action or are we just products and the result of the demands of the society? Did we come into existence due to our own motivation and principles or we were just being dictated by the society where we belong? Thinking about these particular questions makes me feel guilty and even question myself of how I came to be? How about you mylotters, do you have some similar insights?

The human existence can be tag with so many adjectives. We, the people on this earth have the particular role to be somebody. Taking into account on believing the principles of oneself.

I'm not going to dewll too much on my past but I think my decision are primarily because of my need and my current situation. I am the type of person that is not usually influenced. I can be but I make sure that my decision is for my good and I won't hurt anyone on the process.
