Philosophy does not only improve you but transforms you. It is essential to learn as it provides knowledge, deeper understanding, awareness about the essence of everything, and encouragement to apply it in our daily life.
When we say improvement, it only tackles about one or two parts of our identity. Maybe we improve in knowledge or in logical thinking.
However, when we say transformation, it differs from improvement as it involves our whole being, our whole view of reality, and our whole mindset about ourselves and the world we live in. And as we transform, we are molded to a better version of ourselves as we find the truth of everything around us.
But, how does Philosophy transform us?
Through learning Philosophy, our brains become healthier as we deal with intellectual challenges. We learn to set goals, analyze and solve problems, and face new tasks. Also, it helps us to become better thinkers and reasoners as we encounter different situations which require our logical thinking and reasoning to be able to come up with the right view and decision.
Moreover, it helps us to learn and express clearly our values and beliefs, our worldview, and our perspective about God. As we study Philosophy, we will be able to distinguish right from wrong whatever the circumstances are. Also, we will be able to assess what is the greatest value and essence of life. Furthermore, our perspective about God broadens as we search Him in our lives.
Additionally, we need to learn Philosophy because it serves as our guide map into the future. As we learn about the reality of today, we tend to apply our knowledge and understanding to live our lives in the best way we can in the future that is ahead of us. Moreover, Philosophy helps us to appreciate time as mortality is an inescapable fact. Thus, we will value time more by using it wisely with proper intellect.
Indeed, Philosophy transforms us, from the way we think, speak and do. Thus, the main reason and essence on why we must learn Philosophy is the transformation it can offer to us which will help us to find and serve our purpose until the end of time.
