The richness of inner, rational beauty always spreads and deepens ~ Nietzsche
An instant smile gleams through my face when I hear this bollywood song " Philosophy ka craze hai, Kehti hai yeh ik phase hai " as if LYRICS were written exclusively for me. "
At 35, in the quest for Truth and self discovery, to interrogate myself, my way of Living, answer questions about Morality, Free Will , I discovered and took to reading deeper and original Philosophers eg Nietzsche, David Humes et al to be a different kind of person. Once you believe in Growth mindset ( Carol Dweck ) , you tend to believe you are not carved in stone and can evolve as you will.
I believe PHILOSOPHY is utmost for an EXAMINED LIFE .
An unexamined Life is not worth Living - Socrates
Philosophy answers lots of big questions about LIFE & once you gain further understanding you tend to develop an inner compass to sail through various situations in LIFE.
