Almost everyone has been puzzled fom time to time by such esssentialy
philosophic questions as “what does life mean?” “Did i have any existence before
i was born?”and “Is there life after death?”.Philosophy seeks to understand the
mysteries of existence and reality. If theres a philosophy we can freely do what
we want to do, and explore things that we desires. Having philosophy in our daily
lives can help us to promote ourselves into many different various aspects of life,
it can help us to enhance our knowledge and wisdom. Philosophy can motivate
people to achieve their goals, and it help us to formulate new things that
valuable to ourselves.
Philosophy is the bridge of wisdom and knowledge it can help person to
think deeper and realize the reality of our life. It can be good and bad facts that
we know along the way in our journey. We cannot predict whats happenning but
we can aware of whats are going to happen in our life if we seeks to understand,
study, and explore what philosophy is all about.
By studying philosophy person may be equiped by knowledge, wisdom and
information about things that unclear to us. Philosophy helps to determine the
wants and the needs of a one person, it can help us to predict behavior of a one
person by simply just observing through his/her actions. It can help us to control
our personality and our behavior because philosophy studies also about
actions,emotions and desires of a one person. By philosophy we can able to feel
love and experience pain, because philosopyy studies person feelings,emotions
and perspectives in life.
It is very important to our studies and future field someday, because we
can able to adjust our personality, true behavior and our actions by simly
applying those basic philosophy in our life, to make things easier and to avoid
misunderstanding and conflict to the people arounds you. Philosophy can
enlightened our mind to create something new and perfect in a certain time,
because philosophy is the nature of thruth and knowledge. We can think critically
and have ability to analyzed questions to understand clearly. What our
motives,perspectives,desires,wants , can answere by philosopy if we start
applying philosopy in our daily lives. As the French Philosopher Blondel once
observe “Philosophy is not to explain life but to help constitute it. By making man
aware of the implications of his actions, of the range and scope of his life, it lifts
that life to a level that cannot otherwise reached.”
