NOTE

Awareness Over Illusion

Solutions originate from the minds of those who actively seek them, underscoring the importance of genuine awareness of surrounding problems as vital to the philosophical approach to life.

True philosophy requires continuous questioning and an understanding that the quest for wisdom outstrips the existence of definitive solutions. When subjective belief in solutions overshadows the recognition of their inherent problems, one transitions from being a philosopher to becoming dogmatic or sectarian.
