Philosophy is a personal search for an understanding of truth. It is a quest that must be engaged and experienced; not memorized or transplanted. It is, by definition, very challenging....and provides great simplification.
Philosophy is a luxury allowed by living a secure existance.
Philosophy is a task of ingesting volumes of information, which ultimately teach that the answer was not a matter of learning at all....but a matter of realizing that which you knew all along.
Philosophy is not being able to see the forest for the trees; as truth is everywhere and does not hide.
Philosophy is the false promise of finding a great truth. There are no great truths. Truth has always been right there beside you all the time, and will always have a sense of familiarty to it.(hence, no 'great' truths)
Philosphy is the discipline of not ignoring the 800 pound gorilla(truth) sitting beside you.

I like that. Here's an 800 pound gorilla: doing the same thing and expecting a different result; voting for the lesser of two "evils" despite that evil always begets evil.
