| Philosopy?
I am sorry. I did not mean to change the subject. As for studying philosopy and the question of whether or not that pursuit is worth it I would have to say yes. If we study any subject with our eye on money alone we may very well be dooming ourselves. If you have ever seen an Warren Buffet speak of the reasons why he does what he does you will see the joy on his face and the sparkle in his eyes as he explains how he reaches decisions of where he will invest. I work as a nurse and heard 2 physicians talking. One told her child that to be a physician you must love it, especially under todays rules. Philosophy teaches us how to think. It helps us know ourselves, our morality and ethical standards. Yes philosophy is worth it.
By the way my son does not want to return to China to help with rights there. Instead while there he felt a new appreciation for our laws and rights and would like to help promote and uphold them in the country he loves and respects even more than he did before he left. It seems to me that many men that put together the Declaration of independence and The Bill of Rights probably spent some time reading philosophy. Good footsteps to follow. |
