A philosopher is a person devoted to studying and producing results in philosophy. The word, "philosopher," literally means "lover of wisdom." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher
So I guess you could consider me a philosopher. I do in fact, love wisdom. I can't imagine life without knowing what I do now. Although what I know is feeble in comparison with others. All I have really is understanding in science and religion. I feel like my life is complete; that what I have is what others spend their life searching for. With this profound knowledge it's hard to imagine that others haven't been enlightened too. It's weird as well, other philosophers today are not as famous as the ones from the past. We know so much more today it's like this knowledge is worthless, the prior authors have answered our questions. In a way it's like, the earlybird gets the worm, except we can't really choose to be early or late. They're the lucky one's who were made before and are much more well known becuase they figured it out first. Now there's technology like computers that we have much more to research but besdies that all we have to do is live our lives and wait until it's all over. I foresee a period of enormous happiness, where society decays and everyone is glad. Something big will happen, after much ignorance and excessive bloodshed which is currently occurring in this world. When will this happiness take place? That's not for me to know, even being the "wisdom lover" that I am. I just hope somewhere along the line I see from here or above a great echoing, "I told you so!" Today life is more precious since it's being more easily taken away with the exponential developments of technology. With a pull to a semi circular trigger, being liquidated by nuclear bomb, or any of the other seemingly infinite ways to Hell's "nirvana". Being born in the first place is tough as well. We're born from a competition with millions of other competitors, to be chosen to live and taking that gift for granted is unappreciative. An interesting thought: Perhaps no matter which one wins, the same soul is given to it. That would make sense in some ways as well as an uplifting thought. (If you don't know what I'm talking about "which one wins" think about Biology and then a male's reproductive system.)
Today I've been reading a lot and felt really inspired, it was an interesting and seemingly rare moment for me. So I decided to write although, not about this. I've been reading about the alleged existence of a "gay gene" which has prompted me to think deeply about it, it will probably be the topic of my next post. The reason is because too many people including kids in my school believe that there is a gene and that it's more acceptable nowadays. They are people too, you don't just treat them like outcasts and label them. I'll have more info about the issue next, my idea's are just waiting to come out.
This quote seems to back up my first paragraph about philosophers best,
All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe(This guy rules)
