Connections

Philosophy is everywhere; philosophy can be brought up in almost any discussion. A discussion of philosophy most frequently comes up with the question “why?”  I usually partake in extremely philosophical discussions deep in the night. Whether I’m with my good friends or with complete strangers, something about looking up into the stars late at night makes me wonder why. Why are we here? Why do people act the way they do? Why have we not discovered extraterrestrial beings? I also tend to think in a philosophical way when it comes to religion, politics, and science. Ethically and morally, I think religion is great for everyone. It establishes a standard of right and wrong and I think many people need that balance in their life. That being said, I do not promote religion. I think it would be awesome if that balance were maintained in politics. I’m greatly disappointed in the political system of America, as it has turned into a high-paying job instead of a civil service. I see nothing wrong with science. It may not be considered morally right in some eyes. However I think it is good to search for answers.
