Philosophy-what is it..exactly??

There are certain glaring truths in this world. As we mature, our intellect increases and we learn to perceive things more critcally.If we are lucky enough, we get to see situations where these truths are validated. Newton has seen certain truths, Pythogoras has seen certain truths, and Raman has seen certain truths. But if you noticed, not everyone has perceived everything.Why?Depending on the aptitude of the mind in certain fields, the inquisitive mind has risen and expanded its horizons to reach certain levels and accordingly recognize the truths hidden in the nature. Your mind hasn’t blossomed, hence you couldn’t recognize it yourself.His mind did, thus it happened. That’s it. Very simple

In spite of gathering umpteen facts and musing over them, some phenomenon continues to remain enigmatic.Which inturn implies that there remains many more truths to be discovered. As it is known, curiosity and inquisitiveness to learn are salient in human nature. That’s why after analysis and conclusion, we reorganize our findings and move ahead seeking more knowledge…better known as research. This is an age-old practice which is applicable to all walks of life and will continue to be…The ultimate thesis which is derived from the entire intellectual pursuit is nothing but philosophy. Since analysis is purely dependent on an individual’s attitude and intelligence, there are different theories existing in today’s world.

Now comes the question-is this particular philosophy right or wrong? People argue over their theories trying to prove their views. Foolishness….I say. Brilliant Compatibility between the truths and the philosophy make it self proven. Other arguments are just unnecessary.

The sky is blue. This is the truth. Doesn’t require any argument.Why? There are many different theories  to answer it. Suppose a person stands up and screams: “The sky cannot be blue!!”What will you argue with him? You can see it with your own eyes that the sky is blue. To reorganize theories after accepting the truths is the ideal quality of the knowledge seeker. We have already discussed right that inquisitiveness is inbuilt in humans

But for some, philosophies are tied with prestige. Such kind don’t accept the flaws in their theories and say that the sky is not blue. They are little better.Worser are these, the group which claims:”The sky doesn’t exist!!”-You rock people. There are some more ,for whom philosophies are linked to their personal egos and political/social motives..cooollll

But those who really have a thirst for wisdom are the ones who can accept the truth-as it is. If it agrees with your philosophy, then you are on the right track.Else, you need to counter check and modify accordingly-it’s absolutely okay. Nothing offensive,Trust me. But never dismiss the truth, that’s demonic and inhuman.
