“Who am I, where do I come from and where I am going." Rummaging through mythical time to find a convincing answer, to affirm them in the present, and successfully explain its evolution. To define its responsibility, self and being at a given time, its relationship with nature, the universe and the immeasurable. And like all peoples, to scrutinize the reality that exists beyond death.
"We just came to sleep,
we only came to dream:
it is not true. It is not true
that we came to live on earth!
As grass every spring
We are turning:
Are re-greening, taking out sprouts
Our heart.
Some flowers produced by our body
and over there it withers."
(Ms. Mexican folk songs.)
This is how; humans create philosophy to answer these basic existence questions. All peoples in the world, when they managed to satisfy their basic subsistence needs, immediately seek to find their existence meaning.
"Shall I go as the flowers that perished?
Nothing shall remain of my name?
Nothing of my fame here on earth?
At least my flowers, at least my songs!
Here on earth is the region of the fleeting moment.
Is it also like this the place
where we somehow live?
Is there joy, friendship?
Or just here on earth
we have come to know our face?"
(Ms. Mexican folk songs.)
