Philosophy could be labeled as the study of my brother and why he’s such an asshole. Philosophy could also be labeled as the study of why I think it’s wrong me brother is the way that he is because I’m not like that. There is and forever will be 2+ sides to every story.

Long story short, I know that he was not raised that way but I don’t know if the way he’s acting can be fixed. I don’t want him to be that way but I really don’t know how he can personally choose to be like that. Finalizing my original statement of you cannot go through life thinking that your opinion is the only one out there.

He runs around acting like he runs the show around my house, showing no regard or respect for my mother and I. Frankly, I find it embarrassing. How will he ever succeed in life?

For example, my younger brother is one of those people. He thinks that he can do no wrong, “his shit doesn’t stink” if you must. This doesn’t just effect me but my whole family.

If you go through life solely thinking that your opinion and what you do is the only right way, you’re basically just fucked from the start.

Well you can’t, but it does say something to 1. Know how to act and 2. Accepting the idea of other people’s opinions.

I feel as if the benefits of what we know as philosophy, play into our roles as people in general. How can you go through life without your own opinions?

I believe that it’s clear to say that philosophy has a different meaning today than it did even 200 years ago, but a general consensus of the fundamental nature or knowledge.
