    The document discusses the meaning of philosophy and what it means to be a philosopher. It aims to distinguish a philosopher from someone merely playing with words or ideas. A true philosopher asks questions out of a genuine desire to understand fundamental truths, often about life's meaning, through bravely seeking answers. Their questions stem from personal confusion or wonder about problems that cannot be readily solved. A philosophical question moves beyond specific concerns and deals with more abstract issues, typically beginning with an issue that causes unease due to its lack of clear answer.
