    HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT HOW NOTHING
    SEEMS TO LAST FOREVER?
    WE ARE TEMPORAL BEINGS

    OR

    BEINGS ORIENTED TOWARDS DEATH


    DEATH
    • COMMONLY UNDERSTOOD AS THE END OF BODILY FUNCTIONS WHICH
    SIGNALS THE END OF A PERSON’S LIFE
    • THE SEPARATION OF THE BODY AND THE SPIRIT.
    • THE BODY BEING MATERIAL, IS BOUND BY THE LAWS OF TIME AND SPACE
    AND IS SUBJECT TO GROWTH, DEATH AND DECAY.

    • THE SPIRIT, BEING IMMATERIAL, WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST EVEN AFTER THE
    BODY HAS PASSED.
    “YOLO”
    YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
    HOW SHOULD I LIVE MY LIFE BEFORE IT FINALLY ENDS?

    • UNDERSTANDING THE PERSON AS A BEING-TOWARDS-DEATH BRINGS US BACK TO A


    VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC: FREEDOM

    • IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY THAT THE ESSENCE OF FREEDOM IS SELF-


    DETERMINATION - THE CAPACITY TO CHOOSE AND ACT FOR ONESELF.
    THE TEMPORAL EXISTENCE OF A PERSON MEANS
    THAT HIS OR HER LIFE IS TEMPORARY; HE OR
    SHE IS NOT A BEING WHO EXISTS PERMANENTLY
    AND FOR ETERNITY.
    THE TERM END CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IN TWO WAYS

    •TERMINUS WHICH MEANS THE FULL STOP OR END OF A LINE. LIFE


    ENDS AND NOTHING FOLLOWS.

    •TELOS WHICH MEANS “GOAL, PURPOSE OR FULFILLMENT”


    WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DEATH IN

    THE EXISTENCE OF A PERSON?


    •IS THERE AN INSTANCE IN YOUR LIFE WHERE YOU THINK OF YOUR
    DEATH?

    •WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?

    •WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE REASON WHY YOU FEEL THAT WAY?
    ANSWER THESE!
    • WHAT DOES LIVING A MEANINGFUL LIFE MEAN TO YOU? STATE YOUR
    ANSWER IN AT LEAST THREE SENTENCES.

    • WHAT OBJECTIVES DO YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE BEFORE YOU CAN
    SAY THAT YOU HAVE LIVED A MEANINGFUL LIFE? ENUMERATE AT LEAST FIVE
    (5).
    ASSIGNMENT:
