Philosophy, a lot of us have heard of it but don't really know what it is. The textbook definition for philosophy is "the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline."
This definition is merely scratching the surface of what philosophy is, get ready. We're taking a trip into the world of philosophy, the world of learning more about humans and human nature, the world of solving the world's problems.
The word philosophy literally translates into "love of wisdom." You're constantly trying to find more about the world and more about yourself, your thirst for knowledge is impossible to quench when you're a philosopher. Being wise doesn't mean knowing more, but it means having experience. Having life experience and being able to guide people towards the correct path, educating yourself isn't exactly wisdom.
Why is philosophy so important? Why do I feel the need to make this post? Why are we on DSGHQ? All of these questions are able to be answered by philosophy, constantly ask questions and find the answer to them. This is an ideal example of philosophy, you're trying to find the answer to questions you produce in your mind. Don't get this confused with wisdom, we have yet to go in depth on what that is. This is knowledge, this is one of the ideal principles of philosophy, but not what it's about.
Wisdom. Wisdom has yet to be completely understood. My wisdom says wisdom is life experience. See what I did there? I have enough life experience (wisdom) to say that wisdom is based upon your life experience. Why is it so important? It's important because you're able to guide people in the right direction and guide the younger generation or anybody who idolizes you , to success and happiness in life.
Here is a quote about philosophy.
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
So, go out, open your mind! Expand your wisdom and help solve the true problems of this world.
That, is philosophy.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
Happiness is impossible to define, we all have our morals and values and what makes us happy. Happiness is immersing ourselves and our values and love.
Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.
Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
