The plays’ heroes struggled between good and evil. In life, we all struggle in
making decisions knowing that our decisions have consequences. Unfortunately, there are
times that even with our best intentions or feelings of justification (like Hamlet and Othello
who initially felt justified for killing King Claudio and Desdemona respectively), our
actions will lead to negative consequences.
However, in Othello and Hamlet, no matter how bleak the events of our lives have
turned there is always a lesson to learn either a personal lesson or for other people to learn
from.
Gallinero, Alexander Dominic O. Philosophy

The farmers’ seemingly stupid act actually reflects towards doing something without
actually knowing why they are doing it. The farmers in the story know how to dig, what to dig,
but they do not know why they dig. By questioning ‘why’ things happen and ‘why’ we do it, we
would try to consciously making sense of things, establishing and verifying facts, applying logic,
and changing or justifying practices, and beliefs based on new or existing information. The
purpose of Philosophy is to find reason on why things work. If we apply Philosophy in our lives,
we are able to understand our surroundings and ourselves even more. However, “what” and
“how” are still very important questions as it would give us a bit of sense and an outline towards
things. However, if you want to go deeper and find the reason of such things, you would ask
“why?”
In Conclusion, our actions should not just depend on “what” and “how”, but should also
have a reason “why”.
