The Problem With Philosophy

Published on May 18, 2005

Almost every person could spend the rest of their life asking “what if…” questions, and trying to sort out how things became the way they did, and why they did not reorganize and prioritize their life a little more. But that is the problem with philosophy… that as great as it is to sit and ponder the universe and then (hopefully) reach conclusions, it is time lost that you could be using to do things.

I guess my question is whether one can be a philosopher and a go-getter simultaneously? Or do you constantly have to alternate between waiting to figure things out, and then applying the solution? I can only hope I have the wisdom inside to not think as much as I have in the past… because the time is now for doing things.
