To become fully human means to use highly
developed faculty of thoughts to raise our
existence above that of mere beasts. For if we
don't think, we are no more than animals, simply
sleeping, eating, working, and procreating.
HUMAN LIFE NEEDS INTROSPECTION AND
EXAMINATION FOR IT'S GROWTH.

questions include:
"What is love?"
"Is love worth giving up everything?"
"Where can we find true happiness?"
"Sino ang pipiliin ko, Mahal ko, o mahal ako?"
A BIG part of living is spent pondering many

questions, and our lives become more
meaningful because we search for answers to
these innumerable questions. This is the
essence of PHILOSOPHY - the SEARCH for
answers to LIFE'S QUESTIONS.

more about one's life and
experiences

Let's Do
More!
Let's Do More!
“One can reflect on almost any subject”
For instance, the moment you wake up you can
already reflect upon the things that you plan to
do for the day. This will enable you to set your
daily goals and set you on the path of thinking of
ways to achieve them.

Let's Do More!
REFLECTION
Seemingly simple or mundane
actions take a whole new meaning
when one engages in reflection.

When buying clothes, for

example, think of the questions
that you ask yourself as you
consider buying the t-shirt or
blouse you are holding.
You may start with the simple
question: “Will this fit me?”Do I
look good in this color?” These
are the usual questions any
buyer would ask himself or
herself
But since we are in a
reflective and philosophizing
mood, let us now try and think
of “deeper” questions and
reflect on the situation.
You may find yourself asking the following
questions: “Do I even have to buy a new T-
shirt today?” “Am I better off spending
my money on other things?” “Do I see
myself wearing this t-shirt often, or I am
just going to wear it once?” “What sort of
person wears this kind of t-shirt?”

Buying a shirt becomes a much more

meaningful activity with the aid of
reflection. Constant reflection on
your possible purchases may even
help you make wiser choices and
improve your spending habits in the
future.
Reflection is vital in ensuring that our
actions and decisions are well thought
out and are done with due regard for
their implications and consequences on
ourselves, others, and our surroundings.
Reflection help us understand ourselves
and our actions better.

When we reflect, we can judge

whether our actions or decisions are
seasonable or not. Taking time to
analyze your decisions and actions is
one vital skill that will greatly help you
as you encounter more challenges in life.

Let's Do More!
Engage in reflection on the
following situations. List down
simple, serious, and deep questions
you would ask yourself in these
situations. Identify whether it is
primary or secondary reflection.
Let's Do More!
1. You go into a restaurant and the waiter
hands you a menu. You are deciding which dish
to order
2. You and your friends are deciding on a “fun”
thing to do while at the mall.
3. You open your wallet and saw that you still
have hundred pesos left from your weekly
allowance.
