What good is philosophy for me?
Philosophy had never been of my interest, until my first semester in college, which was fall of 2013. It was in my SMC course of self where I discovered the true meaning of philosophy. It was amazing how after every class meeting I would try to find a more deep perspective of life. At first philosophy seemed so difficult to me, as if it was just making things harder for me to understand. It took me a while to actually make philosophy a part of my life. Once I learned and understood the meaning of philosophy I had a different view of the world. Philosophy means the love and pursuit of wisdom. This is a straightforward definition, but there is so much meaning behind it. Philosophy for me is good in the way that it has cultivated my vision in how I see the world. Now I am able to see different perspectives of the world that I am in. Also, the appreciation I have for the world has expanded ever since philosophy became part of my life. One main reason why philosophy has been good for me is that it has helped me think critically. I am one of those persons that has difficulties is expanding her thoughts, but philosophy has been able to help me seek different explanations and ideas of the thoughts I have. I am able to have critical thinking when it comes to answering discussion questions or so. It is hard to give an actual definition of what philosophy is, but in reality we all see it different and that’s the whole point; to be able to give philosophy our own meaning depending in how strong it relates to our own world we live in. I can’t say philosophy has become such a huge part of my life, and that every time I say or think something I am able to think critically, because I haven’t finish learning of how philosophy can relate to the different events of my life. For sure philosophy has helped realize that it is possible to see the world differently than others. To make my own meaning of my own world and to even be able to compare
