Prompt: Metahysical Assumptions
Everyone has a metaphysic assumption. If you are living your life for God or any other higher being that is an example of your metaphysic assumption. The Greeks lived their daily lives to please the Gods, this was their metaphysical assumption. Metaphysics' is suppose to answer the question: "What is the nature of reality?". This is different for everyone and this is what makes our culture so different and diverse, because we all have different metaphysical assumptions.
Many people search their entire life to find something that they stand behind completely, it can be a religion, a person, or even an idea they support. You always hear about people saying they need a vacation so they can find out who they are. Searching for your identity and being an individual are examples of metaphysical assumptions.
Living my life in a positive and moral way are two of my metaphysical beliefs. In my family growing up my parents instilled values and morals of family, respect, and religious beliefs. However, as I grew up I made many changes, although changes were made I still find my religion, values, and morals very important to myself. My belief in God is the most important of any metaphysic assumptions I have. I believe God has put everyone on this earth for a purpose, living your life to fufill God's purpose for you is the metaphysic assumption that most believers in God share. Some people believe their purpose is to testify about God and help individuals find Christ, for others their purpose may be to become a wife or husband , or become a loving and caring parent.
Maybe you believe in a higher being or maybe you do not but we all have something we are living for. As individuals our metaphysic assumptions are often different than the people around us. Individuality is what makes the world diverse and it creates excitement. After all if we all had the same beliefs we would probably get bored with our lives. Everyone has different metaphysic assumptions and it is important to respect everyones belief about their purpose in this life.
