 “The human person is a complex
reality. The mystery that we are to
 ourselves and to one another is
 part of the rich meaning of life,
   and it spurs us on to greater
 reflections and understanding.”
 So,God then is the author of who we are
     and where we are to go in life, and
   includes men and women in his plan.

    Everything that happens in life . . .
  Happiness, problems, excitements and
challenges are all from God. This are what
 makes a person truly strong and molds of
          what we are right now.
 Everyoneis unique specially when it
 comes to personality, likes, dislikes and
 hobbies.

 Even twins, they may look the same but
 there will always be a difference when it
 comes to their personality and how they
 react to one phenomena.
. FRIENDS . FAMILY . ENVIRONMENT .
We are affected by what
we see at home since we
are young because our
parents became our role
model, we are expected
to be like them or better
than them.
And also, the
distinctiveness or traits we
can inherit from our
parents.
It’s true that we should
choose our friends.
FRIENDS that are good
influence to our persona
and studies
FRIENDS that will give
respect to you.
FRIENDS that will accept
you because you’re YOU,
not because of what you
have or fulfilled.
The place we live in can
affect our personality, so its
good to live in a peaceful
community rather than to get
in trouble with your
neighborhoods. An
environment that is green
living because it might affect
your health. And a crime-
free community where you
can loosen-up, unwind
and relax peacefully.
THE HUMAN
 PERSON
By: Socrates
 In the part of the soul, there is the knowledge
   that exist in the body that is temporary. The
  just life is better than the unjust life. The unjust
  human being does not always act for the sake
   of the good. His life is thus worse than the life
                 of a just human being.
 An unjust man only do things to overcome his
  needs and fulfill his happiness
Ruling is part of plan…
 One might think that the rulers in a just city
  would be better off abandoning their posts and
  spending all their time in the love of wisdom,
  since this is the activity in which happiness
  consists most of all. Thus, it can seem that the
  unjust life can be better than the just life. In fact,
  ruling is part of a plan to maximize happiness.
  "Each ruler will spend much of his time in the
  love of wisdom, but, when his turn comes, he
  labors in politics and for city's sake, not as if he
  were doing something fine, but as a necessity."
By PLATO

 The soul is the real person.
                                       Indeed, the body is a prison
Theory of the Soul
According to Plato, the soul consists of three
 basic energies which animate human beings:
 Reason, Emotion, and Appetite. Reason is
 given the greatest value, while Emotion and
 especially Appetite are regarded as the
 "lower passions". The soul that is ordered is
 governed by Reason, and therefore keeps
 one's emotions and one's appetites under
 control.
 The Emotions (reactions like anger or fear)
   and the Appetites (needs for food, sex,
    money, etc), must be ruled by Reason
 (thinking, persuasion, arguement) in order
       for a person to be truly happy.

   When the lower passions are ruled by
     Reason, a person is also therby just.
 The psychic harmony of the soul, according
   to Plato, expresses itself in four cardinal
 virtues, which are each related to the three
    basic energies of the soul. In relation to
  Reason, the happy or just person possesses
     Wisdom (or prudence). In relation to
  Emotion, the just person has the virtue of
  Courage. In relation to Appetite, the just
person owns the virtue of Temperance, which
        is the control of natural desires.
 Flowing outward from this psychic harmony
  is the fourth cardinal virtue, Justice. Wisdom,
  Courage and Temperance are directly
  related to one's own self-control; Justice flows
  outward from this harmony, and is directed
  towards other people through acts of charity
  and kindness.
 Plato was prepared to say that the truly just
  person, whose soul is ordered, is beyond
  tragedy, and cannot be harmed. Such a
  person is leading a meangingful life, as
  against the immoral person.
By: ARISTOTLE
Aristotle divided the soul into three: the appetitive (like worms), nutritive (like
tigers), and rational (like Humans). Humans have the highest level of soul, But they
                    also possess an appetitive and nutritive soul.

    Aristotle had some interesting thoughts on the soul,
categorizing three types of soul. But he did not see the soul
 as a detached, eternal, unchanging entity. Body and soul
     coexist. The soul is more aligned with the notion of
entelechy. The soul is, in a sense, the potential we have to
   become realized human beings, to follow the guiding
                      principle of nature.
From Aristotles point of view:

 Every person has different things that make
  them happy
 Someone who indulges in simple physical
  pleasures is unlikely to be happy, but someone
  who learns an instrument, or a songhy person
  who does not know the right way to make use
  of His wealth may not be happy, but a poor
  person who enjoys each day of His life to the
  fullest (like Socrates) may be happy.
 A human MUST live life to the fullest, fully
  realized all three souls (since Humans
  possess all three), and live in moderation.
  Happiness is not some ultimate stage.
  Happiness entails the process of realizing
  yourself, of reaching your final cause.
The human person as a complex reality
