MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF HUMAN BEING

1. Man and woman are created in the image of god. The book of Genesis sates; And
God said: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that exists upon the earth. All we are
abut reflections of Gods goodness.
2. Man is both a material and spiritual being. Man cannot and should not be understood
simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism. Man has soul that reflects
his spirituality. It is in this unity of body and soul that man is separated from other
creatures of god. Man body is for the consumption and satisfaction of material goods.
Man soul is for the satisfaction of his divine being it is his gateway towards his creator.
3. Man exists as a unique and unrepeatable being. No two man is the same, every
individual has its own distinct characteristics. Every man is different, by the way he acts,
thinks and moves. He is totally a distinct individual from his ancestors, though they may
have shared the same bloodline and genes. Being a unique, man makes his own
destiny, although outside forces (school, community, church, family) may affect his
decision making capabilities.
4. Male and female are two different individuals of equal dignity. All is fair in love and war,
so is man and woman who have equal rights. They may be different in physical
characteristics but they are complements : man and woman complete each other mutually,
not only from a physical and psychological point of view, but also ontologically. It is only
because of the duality of male and female that the human being becomes a full reality. It is in
their union that God has entrusted not only the work of procreation and family life, but the

creation of history itself. The woman is a helper' for the man, just as the man is a helper' for the
woman!

5. The human person cannot and must not be manipulated by social, economic or political
structures. Liberty and freedom is the most essential ingredient of a human life. Take it
away and you took his sense of direction, his sense of being. Man should be given his
own choice to do things he want do, of course in cognizance with the rights of his
fellowman. He ought not to be manipulated or enslave to things or works that is
detrimental to his being.
6. The exercise of freedom implies a reference to a natural moral law, of a universal
character, that precedes and unites all rights and duties. Mans exercise of his rights,
freedom and liberty is not absolute. He has to take caution in dealing with nature and
with his fellowmen. Tampering with nature will not only result to physical imbalance of
his environment but also will be disadvantageous for his own survival.
7. The human person is essentially a social being. No man is an island. Man is created
born fit for society. Man is the creator of society. It is with his interactions with his
fellowmen that he finds satisfaction for his being.
8. Persons with disabilities are fully human subjects, with rights and duties. Like normal
persons, persons with disabilities enjoys the same rights, freedom and liberty. Although
their disabilities my delimit their movement, their way of life, the society should fill this
gap by giving persons with disabilities partiality when it comes to the enjoyment to the
facilities of the society.
9. Man is a rational being. He is capable of reasons. In fact, it is his reasons that makes
him at the top of the animal strata. He is the author of rules and measures - laws. These
laws, which induced or restrained his fellowmen from acting, is the singlemost unifying and
critical bond to a just and orderly society.

10. Man is both a subject and a citizen. A subject has no share in the government. Their status
or class in the community is determined by their birth if they are born craftsman or slave, then

they remain the same. A citizen has a special characteristic and that is he shares in the
administration of justice. The salvation of the state is the business of a citizen. A citizen should
know how to govern like a free man, and how to obey like a free man.

11. Men are all equal and independent. Whatever rights any man enjoys, he also grant the same
as due to all the rest. The laws of nature are immutable and eternal: what they forbid can never
be lawful; what they command, can never be unlawful. For pride, ingratitude, breach of
contracts (or injury), inhumanity, contumely, will never be lawful, nor the contrary virtues to these
ever unlawful, as we take them for dispositions of the mind, that is, as they considered in the
court of conscience, where only they oblige, and are laws. The enjoyment of ones rights should
be in accordance to the rights of others.

12. Each man put his person and all his power in common under the supreme direction of
the general will. It is the greater good for the greater majority that is followed consensus
to take place. But these consensus among the majority does not inviolate the rights of
the minority. Special precautions are undertaken so as not to sideswept the inherent
rights of the minority.
13. Man has human rights. It is embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
followed my most nations 9exceptions are the savages like that of Sudan). Basic of
these rights is the right to live and the freedom of expressions.
14. The nature of Human Beings is basically good. Given the choices of right and wrong,
moral and immoral, human being will choose the path to righteousness and morality.
Wrong decisions may be a result of a situation as is affected by past experience of the
person. Immoral conduct may be the only a fruit of social interactions. By the nature of
guidance and counseling, man is brought to realize that his wrongdoings and immoral
acts need to be corrected, only and only if he allows himself to be corrected. It is only
his own free will choice, not force by anyone, that this realization of his good nature will
come into actuality.
