When I was young,I use to think and read a lot about philosophy,..my family and friends often advice me to stop this,...they use to say that philosophy is useless,and harmful,and that I was too young for this kind of thinking,and that it may even drive me crazy,....it was obvious to me that thinking too much about philosophical questions is very painful,and you rarely come out with some satisfying answers,...but it was also clear to me that philosophy is the bases of all other ideas,and it is very logical to build this bases properly before building all other kinds of knowledge,..I wanted to learn lot about many things,but I knew that without having strong philosophical bases for my knowledge,it will always be weak.
I also realized something very important,..I looked at these philosophical questions as a duty every person has to accomplished some day,..I believed that every person has this kind of mission that has to be fulfilled some day during his life,..it was also clear to me that refusing to work on this duty early,will make it harder and more painful,because you will build things in your life that would have wrong bases,and the wrong idea always bring more wrong ideas,....beside,..doing the hard work in the time you chose,and giving it enough time to be completed,will make the duty less painful.
But what if you kept delaying this work,escaping from its pains,thinking that it is not a necessary thing that you have to do?
we all know how a person begin to think a lot about philosophical questions when he gets older or being close to death for any reason,..many old persons have depression for this reason,...we can all imagine how a person would feel if he was told that he ill by cancer,for example,...this would be more painful than the depression of the old age because it came suddenly.
this is our case today,..modern civilization neglected its basic duty,..people put all their effort in building more technology to enjoy their lives,..they forgot that they have to come back some day and face the basic philosophical questions,..some even said that philosophy has died,..now we will have to face all the questions at once,in a very painful way,..in a way that will simply cripple our lives,destroying our civilization in a very short period of time
