Socrates and ET

I enjoyed so much the discussion the we had today during the IS101 class, probably because I am the kind of person who likes viewing the philosophical side of things and sometimes I like to question my own existence.
We read a short story by Peter Kreft, where two characters seem to have an informal conversation, one of those characters, Plato encouraged the other character, Peter, to ask him self about the purpose of going to college. And it made me think that sometimes we forget why are we doing things. We  fall in the same routine every day, and we act like if we are following something, when we are not really sure of what we really want. Some people will say that as any other living species on earth, what we want us to satisfy our instincts in order to be happy.Some others will say that by collecting knowledge, we will be  more clear about what we really want.
And off course some will argue that God is happines.


 When I think  on this I tend to get confused, but by asking myself right now how I feel and I think that I am enjoying all this experience of college, and that the most important thing. The future is uncertain...
