post-sem reminders

Guess I have to reiterate some stuff to my beloved students before we put this sem to a close:

To my students in FAM:
- there is a big difference between UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and UNREQUITED LOVE.
- happiness is not all about comfort and convenience. hardships in pursuit of a higher good can serve as catalysts to transcendence (get what i mean?)
- there is a difference between utility of energy and wasting energy
- transcendence is not just a simple movement, it is a progressive movement -- and well, it is also time-bound.
- what we may be thinking of life could just be a lifestyle.
- culture is always progressive, if it reminds us of our brutish past better forget it.

To my students in Intro to Philo:
- there is a difference between certainty and opinion. quality opinion could lead to certainty.
- an impulsive comment is still an opinion, therefore some opinions could be wrong.
- even if we are all uncertain of whether we will be meeting again in class, please proceed with your journals. better yet, begin putting your blogs to good use.
- in philosophy, the main keys are sincerity and certainty
- keep your consciousness intact when answering an exam. =P

To my philosophy majors:
- strive hard not to be become disembodied thinkers.
- to 4phl: next sem, we shall think of ideas together with ourselves, and goodnews -- am also beating the deadline for my own proposal.

After you've seen your grades, you can breathe and have a happy sembreak.

Enjoy, make it productive. =)
