UNDERSTANDING THE SELF
Self-awareness allows us to know who and what we are, that includes our identity, qualities, character traits, and values. Self-awareness allows us to know our relationship with others, our fellow human beings, that includes our family, relatives, friends, classmates and God.

THE DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHIES-VIEWSABOUT MAN
MAN is a complex being above all other created beingsPRIOR KNOWLEDGE
PHILOSOPHY 1I cannot live locked up inside myself. I must be open to the world and those around me.I must be meditative so that other people and the forces found in the universecan flow through me so that I can overcome all illusion about myself and theworld and thus discover an ultimate reality
PHILOSOPHY 2 Im here for one purpose: to get as much gusto out of life as I can.Pain and suffering are evils that must be avoided at all costs.The main thing in life is to always feel good.
PHILOSOPHY 3My purpose in life is work for the glorification of the group.The individual has no worth as such. Im like a cog in a big machine as I submitmy efforts to the largest efforts of the state.
PHILOSOPHY 4I must do whatever I can do to increase my own freedom. Freedom means doing what I want to do. Hell is other people. What is good is that which furthers my interests.
PHILOSOPHY 5In the light of death, life has no real meaning.It is a joke, the tale of an idiot signifying nothing.
PHILOSOPHY 6Life begins with satisfying the bodily needs toward becoming self-actualized persons. All of mans needs are in a pyramid form
