According to Wikipedia, philosophy is defined as the study of general and fundamental problems. In my world most of the time philosophy is just a fun skin care line but today I’m going to get a little philosophical in a more traditional kind of way.
If a tree falls in the woods, does anyone hear it? Reply hazy, try again. What is the meaning of life? Ask again later. What is the nature of the universe? Can not predict now. What happens at death? Concentrate and ask again. As you can see philosophy is just a series of subjective, unanswerable questions that the magic 8 ball of life is pretty non committal on.
Well I have a few never ending questions of my own. Can people really change? I’m working very hard to change myself to be more of the person I want to be but when it comes to other people, can they really change? Is it true that history repeats itself? There is a common expression that says fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. If you lose trust with someone, can you ever fully get it back or will you always keep one eye open waiting for that person to let you down again?
Life is full of unanswerable questions. It would be nice if that magic eight ball could tell you all the answers but since it can’t, we just have to trust our heads and our hearts. Too bad sometimes even when our heads scream “Wake up to you moron!” our hearts will tell us something completely different. What happens when our hearts and heads refuse to agree with each other? I guess it’s just one more philosophical question to ponder.
“Philosophy is the science which considers truth.” – Aristotle
