Some people are just natural philosophers. I was always one, and an un-analyzed life gets drab very quickly, for me at least. I like to entertain various ideas without taking them too seriously. I like Stoicism which I find very useful, and eastern philosophies like Buddhism. Too easy to become over-zealous about both of those philosophies.
A test of your own personal philosophy is when you encounter adversity. Do you apply what you've learned, or make up something on-the-fly?
- aradox66 4y agoThat's funny, I understand Buddhism to be about the pain caused by conceptualizing life and the importance of dropping an analytical frame.
- auxi 4y agoI interpreted it as the pain being caused by experiencing one's own perceptions and the importance is put on conceptualizing life (the experiencing) and dropping the self :)
- macrolocal 4y agoThat sounds like Bergson more than Buddhism.
