Philosophy as a life companion
Imagine for a moment that the ocean is life, the waves of the ocean are the problems of our life, the ship that sails on the ocean is philosophy. then this paradox leads me to conclude partially that: “with philosophy it is easier to navigate in the uncertainty of life”.
It does not matter that philosophy is seen and understood as a source of abstract knowledge, since philosophy's capacity for revelation guides us in the tumultuous waves of the ocean called life.
Perhaps because of today's technological advances and lifestyle we have a perception of philosophy as something of little use, but the real reason is that the history of mankind shows us that the art of living with serenity and wisdom was thanks to the search that has always existed for the truth and knowledge that is the fruit of philosophy.
When there is no questioning in our lives, it is like walking blindfolded, that is why when we walk through life with philosophy we question, we open our eyes and break beliefs and myths, to thus adapt our way of life to a non-circumstantial reality, is that after all philosophy helps us in life is because it is the only entity that sincerely invites us to examine our own values so that in many ways we can understand as much as possible the environment of the world around us.
It is important to be aware that philosophy does not offer easy answers or solutions to get out of the way. On the contrary, it invites us to solve our problems with thought, since by developing our own criteria we can develop a clearer vision of the events of our life and in the end not be so distorted of reality.
I conclude by saying that it is necessary for our lives to be able to carry out exercises of independence of our thoughts, to make them free with philosophy and to forge our own destiny.
