The Study of Philosophy

One of my favorite subjects is Philosophy! The thing about philosophy is that it is all about questioning, but there’s never an absolute answer.  Some answers can seem absolute, but then you’ll read something else, or have a discussion with another and suddenly you’re mind has been opened to a new perspective.

I think it is important to study philosophy. It allows you to learn how to question yourself which I think is something people should do more of. Not questioning like “Maybe I’m not good enough,” or terribly negative thoughts, but question “What is good? Why am I measuring myself to this goodness? Is it really good?” I think studying philosophers and how they came to view and explain the world begins the process of your own understanding of the world.
