So I was reading a story about how a little girl is a survivor of cancer of more than 3 years now and she wasn't supposed to live more than a year. I don't know why this struck me so deep, but it got me thinking about this class. I know it's not what we're talking about now but earlier in the class we were talking about how philosophers want an explination for almost anything and that is why we look into how we act as humans and what makes us act that way. But how could anyone explain how that little girl is still breathing? I know when we look into the world there are going to be things that accure that we will not be able to explain because we do not know everything in the world that we live in, but than why are we looking for an explination? There is going to be so much that we will never understand but yet we pick at some of the greatest minds in history in hopes that there will be some claification, I just don't understand why we toucher ourselves.
