QUARTER 2-MODULE 8

HUMAN PERSONS AS
ORIENTED TOWARDS THEIR
IMPENDING DEATH
INTRODUCTION TO THE
PHILOSOPHY OF HUMAN PERSON
 LESSON 1:
• HOW DOES THE REALITY OF DEATH
DEFINE OUR LIVES?
• WHAT SHALL I DO BEFORE I DIE?
• WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY?
Nothing last forever (walang forever).
The cycle of being born, growing up
and growing old and dying is reality.
We have limited time here on earth
and whether we like it or not, we are
bound to die.

Death is real. It is part of our being.

Death is commonly understood as the end of

bodily functions.
Everything that exists in this universe comes
to an end and we humans are not exempted.
The acceptance of being a temporary
individual in this world gives us a clearer
vision on how to live life to the fullest and
understand the meaning of our existing.
We have the freedom to choose a well-lived
life; doing good and doing what is right.
 WHAT MAKE US
• Happiness HAPPY?
is a state of being (over all
physical condition of a person), not
just only an emotion or a decision.
• We do not choose happiness because
we feel it, we do not choose we need
it but happiness is totality of who we
are as human beings.
 As an embodied spirit, we must consider also the goods or
sources of our happiness.

KINDS OF GOOD:
• NOBLE GOOD- is one which is pursued for its
own sake, example is love and friendship.
• USEFUL GOOD- is found only from what it can
provide, example, money is good as it can buy
you something.
• PLEASURABLE GOOD- is good so long as it
provides some form of pleasure, though it does
not have to be physical.
 LESSON 2:
WHY DO WE SUFFER
Suffering is generally viewed as a state of
feeling discomfort or pain. It can come in the
form of physical suffering when one
experiences bodily pain, example, injury or it
may be a mental suffering when it involves our
minds and emotions, such as depression or
loneliness. Humans as we are, we normally
experience pain and we often view it as
necessary to help as grow and become a strong
person and find the deepest meaning of our
lives.
In life, we experience both happiness and
suffering. Whatever experiences we have,
let us make it sure that it helps us lived
the life worth remembering; that we
could be a better version of ourselves.
Life is a gift, live it.
 WHAT I HAVE
LEARNED
•Human is temporary. Nothing is forever.
•We have to exercise our freedom in a positive
way.
•We should always remember to do good rather
than bad.
•Real happiness can be found in a more lasting
and important things.
 WHAT I HAVE
• Suffering takes LEARNED
place when we feel pain. It can be
experienced physically or mentally. It is generally viewed
as an undesirable condition, and that we naturally seek
pleasure and avoid pain. Humans as we are, we normally
experience pain and we often view it as necessary to help
as grow and become a strong person and find the deepest
meaning of our lives.
• We experience both happiness and suffering. These two
are not really meant to be extreme opposites, for they can
also enrich one another.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
• As intersubjective beings who have a
tendency to form bonds with others, it
is only natural that the meaning of life
can be found when we open ourselves
to others. This means that although we
will eventually die, we have an
opportunity to enrich our lives as well
as the lives of others.
