Good day friends
Recently, I noticed that some people have been so preoccupied with the "fruits of the change" era and have abandoned the pursuit of wisdom. They do not regard any knowledge as worthwhile unless it affords them some material advantages, or unless it leads to an increase in sensible pleasure. It is not only the case that the pursuit of wisdom has been neglected nowadays, but it is also in danger of being replaced by false substitutes. Hence, some people tend to think; "why should I care to know more? What I do not know about will not kill me". Bad news? Yes. Most cancer patients died either because they are unaware of the ailment or because they refused to acknowledge its existence (which is knowledge in a way).
What I'm I saying in essence; why not strive to know more? Why do you have to stop at what they told you? Why do you like "dem say dem say" instead of "I think this is, or that? Do you know you could find out more than was ever revealed to you? Are you aware the truth will set you free?
Philosophy goes where hard science cannot/will not penetrate. Philosophers have a license to speculate about everything from metaphysics to morality, and this means they can shed light on some of the basic questions of existence and reality.
I am not here to teach you or here indoctrinate you, but as Socrates once said, "I am only here to make you think". A thinking individual is a progressive one. Maybe we should kick-start this blog just this way. Having said that, this happens to be the much we can accommodate here for now. Until I come your way next time with more philosophical questions and thoughts, stay tuned to this page.
Keep thinking (and acting) #justfortheloveofwisdom Enjoy your blessed day. Cheers!

Nice one bro. Let's do this.
ReplyDeleteThanks bro. Of course.
DeleteI don't dispute either, but what knowledge can be sought after when hardship dominates all facets of life! When sectionalism sets the tone for democracy and honesty crested in hardwork simply cumulates as bane to the Nigerian. #justsaying
ReplyDeleteYou are right as to how things appear to be now. The knowledge, however, we need to seek now is that of ourselves, what ought to be done and how to do that which ought to be done.
DeleteMaybe armed with the knowledge of ourselves we may know what to do with those who are keeping us in this state. We will also know how capabilities and limits.
Thanks bro.
Well done bro👍
