Philosophy

I'm currently taking this course as part of my degree plan, and I'm wondering why I hadn't taken this class sooner. I'm usually one to over analyze things, and finally a class that praises just that. I love asking hard questions, even the cliche ones like "What's the meaning of life?" Not many people sit back and philosophize about their surroundings or situations in life. The majority of people in this country don't feel the need to think critically.

I would recommend anyone to take a philosophy class. There are a lot of questions that make you sit back and really wonder why you think the way you do. There are a few that I think anyone should ask themselves such as, "Why do I believe in God?", "What is truth?", and "What is the meaning of opinion?"

They may seem like simple questions, but when you really sit back and think, the answer becomes less and less clear. It's because we've accepted since were young the mindset of our parents, and the society around us. I didn't raise those questions to prove or disprove anything, but these are the questions that really had me searching for answers. Come to find that there really is no concrete answer to any of those questions. This is why I love the subject of philosophy because there are a lot of questions that are open ended, and will never be solved. Of course, some people will see these questions, and will get upset because it questions belief in God. Yet if you were to look in the bible St. Augustine questioned the existence of God, and Martin Luther questioned many of God's creations and doings.

All I'm saying is just think deeply about everything. Whether it be religion, the universe, politics, or any subject that provokes thought. Just think.
