What is philosophy?
Quite literally, the term "philosophy" means, "love of wisdom." In a broad sense, philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships to the world and to each other. As an academic discipline philosophy is much the same. Those who study philosophy are perpetually engaged in asking, answering, and arguing [argument: a reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong; i.e. theorizing] for their answers to lifes most basic questions. To make such a pursuit more systematic academic philosophy is traditionally divided into major areas of study.The study of philosophy involves not only forming ones own answers to such questions, but also seeking to understand the way in which people have answered such questions in the past. So, a significant part of philosophy is its history, a history of answers and discussions about these very questions. In studying the history of philosophy one explores the ideas of such historical figures. What often motivates the study of philosophy is not merely the answers or discussion themselves but whether or not the arguments [:a reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong; i.e. theories] are good and the answers are true. Moreover, many of the questions and issues in the various areas of philosophy overlap and in some cases even converge. Thus, philosophical questions arise in almost every discipline.

A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again.But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.

"To thine own self be true."
Be yourself and embrace uniqueness and quirks is a phrase I try to put into action. Sometimes anxieties can deter me from doing so, but I find things generally go better the less I'm trying to seem normal or fit into a social situation or come across a certain way. I can be an individual and part... read more

On the Morality of Sexual Polygamy
Recently I've had my view of this completely changed. I've come to the conclusion that, while a person's romantic sensibilities should always take precedent in relationships and should sexual monogamy be desired it should always be the goal - I no longer see it as a moral imperative for...

Have you asked yourself if you're a good person, a neutral person or even an evil person? The answer might shock you because rarely do we do a balance sheet of our actions and come out with a verdict that is good... Are you good or bad?😉

Embracing Stoic wisdom today 🌿
Stoicism teaches me to focus on what I can control, find inner peace amidst chaos, and live with virtue. It's about mastering my mind and emotions to navigate life's challenges gracefully.
