Developing The Idea of Platonism

We are taught that atoms are made up of electrons, protons, neutrons and consist of a nucleus. But what makes up the essentials of life?

Platonism:

the point of view on the nature of the relationship between mathematics and the physical world.

With this belief in mind, let us take it a step further.

This is the understanding that the physical world is determined by math, preferable examples being E=mc^2 and Pi, which within these two, somehow create a whole entire population and universe with numbers and symbols that make up each particle. The idea that math is the basis of our existence can be easy to grow attached too, because math is so hard to understand to some, similar to the answers to the Universe and our existence.

Atom:

the basic units of matter.

Bringing biology into this, I would like to question how numbers and symbols, in whichever way they choose to take form, create a physical world. It makes sense thinking that math is a requirement in school, but I want to know if math is a requirement because of its credibility to the creation of the Universe. We are taught that math is such an important subject, but if this is the case, why has there not been an easier way to perfect it? To understand it?

Is it that those who do not understand will never understand it, meaning that they will never be awakened or enlightened to the truth of our existing Universe and physical selves?

And to those that do understand it, with time, will they will be able to develop a rounded explanation of our existence and reveal to humanity the answers that have been sought for so long?

We are taught that atoms are made up of electrons, protons, neutrons and consist of a nucleus. But what makes up the essentials of life?

Without protons, neutrons, electrons, etc., there are no atoms. Without atoms, there is no life. Without life, there is no physical being. Without physical being, there is no existence. Without an existence, is there still a Universe?

Is there a life that exists beyond our own that has developed this mathematical way of thinking in order to develop a hypothesis and understanding of our existence?

With each question that is unanswered, a new door opens with new questions and new beliefs.

Man is stuck in a never-ending loop hole of unanswered questions and misguided souls.

Do not trust those around you.

Do not trust yourself.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
