What is written above is textbook definition of philosophy

Every human being has an different philosophy of life have different actions and decisions based on that actions that is what make us human not system designed on a same code or program that has only one task to do .for Socrates it is awareness about our ignorance ,for Aristotle it is the fondness and appreciation of knowledge and loyalties with wisdom. For so called ‘SIGMA MALE’ the internet influenced person philosophy of life is nothing you just got be rich in terms of money and every thing will be bowing you ,for Jew living in Palestine the philosophy is different than Jew living in wall street of new York .

Philosophy is just a teaching of thinking it is just an never ending learning process as life goes on you keep discovering and learning of philosophy of life .a curious mind never stop asking questions like Prophet Ibrahim kept asking and searching to know to find THE ONE true GOD led him to finding and being blessed by the prophethood .kept indulging in meta physics why am I? why we are here ? who made this universe or this all is just an accident? Many follow religion and find answers in their respective religious texts and find true purpose of their life.

As a keen student of politics I question that what is the best way of governance even who will measure crime or even good on what basis how will be bad and good will be measured right or wrong how will be things sacrificed for greater good .the questions I have when I look up at bright sky night make me ask myself questions and remember that in Quran ALLAH said All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds.

Are there any more world then ours? Are we alone in the universe or these all other galaxies are just bunch gas and star dust waste?

After this journey of my through the stars when I safely land on earth I question what is my purpose here what is my life’s meaning surely I am not here to watch reels then Buddha told me “The purpose of your life is to find your purpose and give your soul and heart to it “, and as a Muslim we are also born to praise the Allah by obeying commands that may help me find peace in this trial of Adam, not here to stuck in squares of life like classes, offices ,cabins and cars or should I go leaving everything behind and skating through mountains like Walter Mitty or should I go with the flow and see what happens but only dead fishes go with flow, right? That’s there has to be some philosophy of life of an individual that gives meaning and idea to what to do what to achieve what to live for what to die for.to not just exist but to live to the fullest but how by being rich in terms of money or should waste the days thinking what if I do not become one or to just live in the moment ‘carpe diem ‘ to live a selfish life or to live with the philosophy that to live and strive to change the world for good cause all the revolution begins with the idea because ideas and words can change the world and it changed the world if it was not for the idea of Marx soviet union would not have existed .this philosophy and The philosophy really can define you and give you the answer of the billion dollar question. WHY ARE YOU and WHO ARE YOU? That really is the value of philosophy of life is.

The value of philosophy lies in its ability to provide a framework for critical thinking and reasoning. By engaging in philosophical inquiry, we can identify and clarify problems and questions, analyze and evaluate arguments, and develop and defend our own positions. Philosophy enables us to engage with complex ideas, consider alternative perspectives, and develop sensible understanding of the world around us. It provides a foundation for informed thoughtful decision-making, and helps us to function through the complexities of modern life with clarity and insight.
