Chapter 48: Phycological Explanation

🌟Jenniah's PoV🌟
🌟In the Classroom🌟

"Say no Jenniah! Let her suffer she deserves it, binagga ka niya kanina bagay lang sa kanya, isa pa ang dali ng question niya." Komento ni Natalie sa akin.

Masamang tingin maman ang iginawad ni Zarinah sa kanya at dinilaan lang naman ito ni Natalie.

"I will sir. I will help her." Sagot ko.

Napatingin sila sa akin na mukhang gulat.

"Are you sure Jenniah?" Tanong ni Sir na hindi rin makapaniwala.

"Yes Sir. I want to prove to her na maling tao ang binangga niya." Tugon ko.

"Ok then Zarinah you may now sit." Utos ni Sir sa kanya. Umupo naman na siya at ako na ang nakatayo.

"What is your answer in my question?" Tanong ni Sir.

"Pythagoras sir, Pythagoras is the first man to be called a Philosopher." Sagot ko.

"Correct. Now your first question, What are numbers?" Tanong ni Sir na nakatingin sa module.

Tumingin ito sa akin at ngumiti dahil alam niya na alam ko ang sagot sa question niya na iyon.

"Mathematical structures can consist of numbers, sets, groups, and points. But are they real objects? Or do they simply describe realationships necessarily exists in all stucture?In philosophy, Plato argued that numbers were real but formalists insisted that they were merely formal system. This is essentially an ontological problem where were left baffled about the true nature of the universe and which aspects of it are human construct and which are truly tangible." Diretsong sagot ko.

Pinalakpakan nila ako, even si Sir.

"Correct! I was impressed. What a wide reader." Comment ni sir.

"Next question, why is there something rather that nothing?" Tanong niya.

Nag-isip muna ako dahil sa totoo lang first encounter ko sa ganoong question. Something rather that nothing?

"Nothing is the problem, thingking about nothing is difficult, imposible kumbaga. So we should skip nothing and start with something. By it's very definition, it isn't. Nothing is not a void although we often use it in a casual language like when we say 'There's nothing in the chest.' What we really mean is that theres nothing of significance at the very least, there's empty space. That's not the same. Nothing is not space. Nothing is not a void. Same as zero. Zero is also something, zero is not nothing. Nothing is the complete lack of anything, even space which is why your brain-- which is a particular kind of something, occupying space and which uses thoughts-- which are also something-- we cannot comprehend nothing. For the ancient Greeks the answer is so simple, it borders on the absurd: true nothing is a logical impossibility. Our belief is it's existance is simple parochial error. Just because we think we can imagine something doesn't make it real. Something must be, they said, because nothing can't. Well its just my opinion Sir." Nag-aalanganing sagot ko.

"Very good, another splendid answer. Now the last question." Wika ni Sir.

Really tama ako? Owkey!

Kinabahan ako dahil alam kong pinaka mahirap na yung itatanong niya.

"What is the meaning of life?" Habang binabasa niya ang tanong nakangiti ito.

Natulala ako dahil sa hirap ng tanong. What could be the answer? It's hard I admit dahil talagang pinapagana niya ang utak ko. Where on earth you can get an answer to that? What is the meaning of life? Really what is the meaning of life?

"Do you know the answer Jenniah? You're running out of time." Babala ni Sir sa akin.

"Sir kung mali ang isasagot ko I will remain standing diba? I will accept my defeat." Sagot ko sa kanya.

Itiniklop niya yung module at humarap sa akin.

"That's not the Jenniah I know. At least give us your insights about the meaning of life?" Tanong niya. Napakakomportable ni Sir. Dahil siguro alam niya na hindi ko malalaman yung sagot.

"To be honest sir ngayon din lang pumasok sa isip ko yung tanong na yan. That's why I did not know the answer. But yes I will try sir. I will base my answer to the phylosophy articles I've read." Nakayukong pag-amin ko. Hindi ko alam yung sagot kasi I never live my life the way it would be. My life is not the best example of that question.

"It's ok. Maybe you can make a good reason. Go on." Utos ni Sir.

"I don't think the question means what you think it means Sir." Sagot ko.

Natahimik ang lahat, tulala, at iniisip kung bakit iba at magulo ang sagot ko.

"Tama ka Jenniah but can you explain me why?" Hamon ni Sir.

"Base on stock knowledge,  Philosophers and poet tells us about the answer that the question itself is bunk that it doesn't ask anything meaningful, Joseph Campbell said that human beings aren't looking for the meaning of life but rather the experience of life, the rapture of being alive which is wholly different." Pagpapaliwanag ko.

"Talagang pinapahanga mo ako Jenniah, lagi kang lumalagpas sa expectation ko. That same question was ask by our Philosophy teacher back when I was just a freshman at ni isa sa amin ay walang nakasagot. Every year to every batch tinatanong ko ang question na ito. Pero walang akong nakuhang sagot until now and you even have a acceptable explanation. You really deserve your spot. Sana narinig ni Maam Gia yung sagot mo" Puri ni Sir sa akin.

I answered it right pero I didnt feel it. Manhid na ba ako? Congrats self.

"Ok class dismiss." Tugon ni Sir.
