Lesson no2

21/09/2015
On last ToK lesson we discussed very intriguing text about these situation where there were couple of people and one of them staded that cheese was eaten by a mouse and tried to prove his opinion to the rest. What was important was the fact that the other poeople haven't seen the situation on their own eyes an one of them belived the boy and the other did not. Their statements were also justified. I liked the text but tater on that day when I went to bed and had plenty of time to think before I fell asleep I found myself overthinking a lot of informations recieverd from other people during my life and it gave me a little anxiety. How can I belive some people? Very often I have no proof which would
support the stories I am told. Most of informations I know might be untrue. I could as well live in one big lie my whole life. I don't know if upcoming ToK lessons will be confusing and make me think so much my head hurts and I start question everything I know but if so I hope I will get used to that because as for now I kind of enjoy the lesson at first but then when I think about it I'm getting tierd.

Lesson no 1

07/09/2015

 These Monday was  my first real ToK lesson. What can I say? We had these text about how some proffesor tried to convince his student that God does not exist and the other student proved mentioned before proffesor that the way in which he was trying to justify his rights is wrong because following his method the proffesor brain did not existed.
 To my way of thinking, proffesor was kind of ignorant assuming that God is bad because he created evil things. It's like you said that apple tree is bad because one of the apples had worms in it. Stupid. Anyway, I agree with the student that you shouldn't try to understand the world around you only with your senses. Also you should know that sometimes you don't need physical proof that something works. I'm not talking about religious faith because that can be personal to many people, I'm talking about things that you can't touch like mathematics. Why do we belive that pi is equal to 3.14....? I never had pi number of apples. I know that it exist but I don't really undersant it. How does it look? How you calculate pi? How ancient Babylonian people found it? I have no idea. I just blindly follow whatever my math textbook said because I have faith that it is true. From last lesson I learned that faith is important in ToK but I hope that I'll understand the topics that will be discussed. For now ToK does not look like it will be hard subject but I saw some posts that ToK is hell so I will have my fingers crossed that it only depends on the teacher. 
  I have no idea how many words should my post have. I will leave it the way it is and (maybe) change it next time.
