Philosophy – The language of life

By Rida Jangra

In today’s world of science, magic is considered nothing but a mere superstition. But only one branch of human study explores the possibilities of the eternal image of the human mind, that is – Philosophy, a word which literally translates to ‘love of wisdom’.

From a very young age we are taught various subjects and languages but often miss out on the main topic of how we are supposed to live, who are we? Why are we here? And what the life we live actually entails? And other existential queries. Philosophy answers to all these questions while leaving space for even more interpretations in both reasonable and abstract forms.

The concept of philosophy begins with just ‘thinking about thinking’.

The contemplation of the raindrops on the window, the green grass, the blue sky, and various normality in our daily life gives birth to its ideology promoting art forms like poetry, dance and music.

The thing that makes it so enchanting to the human mind is that anyone can understand and appreciate its intangibility and, in most cases, personally relate to it.

Just wonder how a quote in a book can make us stare at the wall for hours, how an ideology can change the course of our existence, how art can influence others to become artists, or how it has the power to strengthen someone in the weakest of times just by glimpses of it.

Everyone who wants to really live must know the language of life.
