Living Philosophy

How can we live a better life?

At times life seems like a tough struggle, and nothing enjoyable at all. We prick our ears for every promise for a better life and a relief of our misery, but can we get disappointed each single time, unless we deceive ourselves into thinking that we found our solution.

Attempt after attempt to either entertain ourselves to forget how cruel life can be sometimes or to find a final solution to out problem we come to realize that life will always be the way it is, and we are bound to suffer whether we admit that or not.

No one can tell us how to live a better life, or how to face the terrifying existence, but we have to know that ourselves.

And to philosophize is to try to be wiser, and thus a philosopher (a lover of wisdom) strives not only for knowledge, but also for how to view life, not only for knowing what to think but also for learning how to think, and more importantly, how to live.
