Definition of Philosophy

The Word According to You

by

Each day, we grow and learn from the things around us and of course the various transaction we find ourselves in. Whether it is for work or from socialization, you can be assured that lessons and points picked up from them add to your personal judgment in the long run.

This is not to say that new ideas and facts can alter what your personal philosophy is about. In fact it would depend on your stored knowledge. For some, it may not matter but for others, improving or perhaps correcting initial understandings is apparent. But not all gathered new information can turn out to be for the good. In fact, it can push right judgment into false ones, depending on how well a person is able to weigh things out between them.

So in the end, something gone wrong or right will entirely depend on how a person is able to depict situations. It can mold them into better philosophers or perhaps into controversial ones. Once that happens, the evolution of sound judgment cannot be easily altered. You just have to be aware that changes in personal aspects can be noticed one applied.

In the end, a person will have his own philosophy which may not necessarily be common to others. There is nothing abnormal about that. The only thing that remains is to live up to that philosophy and see if you can improve it for the better. If there is something wrong it can be easily seen. Depending on pride, a person can change for the better if he does choose to do so.

Torn in Between Religions

by

A person cannot be forced to follow another religion if he is not fully willing. We see the number of people shifting religious beliefs these days and you have to wonder if it is indeed wholeheartedly or just because their attention has been touched. Indeed, one may thing that religion is the last thing that people would qualm about. But sad to say, it has become an issue, especially if two people come from different sets.

Religious beliefs are rampant and different. There are certain standards and laws set forth to which religious philosophy always takes the heat. Indeed, it may seem like a petty thing but as far as taking their respective philosophies in consideration, you will be surprised at how it can escalate if the proper way to handle and mediate them is not done.

Let us take marriage for example. For every religion, there are beliefs to be followed. It can go as far the actual wedding ceremonies which for two people coming from different religions can be a cause for dispute. So how does one handle these situations?

There are instances where compromises are made. Sometimes, one of them even gives way. But as far as living together, unless one converts to the other, it will be quite a hellacious ride. This is not to say of course that these marriages will fail. They are merely cases wherein much of them is a reality.

Eventually, it all depends on how people would handle the gravity of such conflicts. For some it may not matter but for others, a lot has to be done and normally it goes as far as involving both families.

Stick To Your Philosophy

by

Each person will have his or her own share of philosophical beliefs as far as principles are concerned. Once they are exposed or find themselves with friends or peers, there will be times that they will be tempted to alter some of these principles since they want to belong. As much as possible don’t resort to that. While it is true that you may have differences with other people, it remains that you have to stick to your own principles and values. If they work for you since you started believing in them, then why change them?

This personal philosophy covers a wide area for anyone. It may entail business decisions to personal ones. While you may find the beliefs of others as effective for themselves, remember that the same may not necessarily hold true to yourself. It is all about how you approach it. Personal philosophies may vary but are really meant to be unique for anyone these days. That is simply something that has to be put in mind.

For some, doing this may go as far as affecting relationships and socialization. People will look at you in a different light which may not necessarily be favorable. This should not bother you as a person. Just because someone else disagrees or is not at all comfortable with your philosophy means that you have to change for them. Even married couples experience this. While some would change in the initial parts of their union, you will find that they eventually fall back to the known principles that they had initially been known for. Personal philosophies are simply hard to alter especially once they are inherited and gotten accustomed to.
