The Timeless Wisdom of Ancient Philosophies

Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times

Philosophy is something extraordinary in our lives. Most people run away after listening to this word thinking that it’s all about bragging about how much knowledge you have.

Or maybe smoking a cigarette with long hair and talking about life in the most sexist, intellectual, and philosophical way.

Or surrounding yourself with a pile of books all day, learning, reading, talking and all that is philosophy. I will say people are naive and innocent.

Philosophy is not about grasping but applying. It is not about only learning but the practicality of our learning and it is not all about thinking like an intellectual but thinking with rationality.

It is not about talking like a scholar but talking wisely or maybe not talking at all. That is what philosophy really means.

Philosophy is meant to help us either optimistically or pessimistically. Because there are philosophies out there that say everything is shit and we can’t do anything about it.

The foundations of philosophy can differentiate but not its purpose. Its purpose is to solve our problems not only theoretically but practically.
