Everyday Philosophy
Is it just me or is the whole nation (and maybe the world but having not seen it all I cant comment there) succumbed to a bizzare phenomenon which I've dubbed "everyday philosophy".
There was a time when philosophy, deep thinking and profoundness was isolated to some of the greatest minds and thinkers of the world. Yet nowadays it seems everyone wants to and will try thier hand at it.
From the star signs in the papers, although those have always tried to be more profound than the gibberish they actualy are, to the stranger in the pub who tries to explain life over a few pints, to the internet where forums, instant messengers and so on seem a breeding ground for it (just take one look at peoples signatures on most forums and you'll see what I mean) to your friends spouting random quotes in response to any question you fire off at them.
Now I'm not really complaining to much about this, it's nice to see people wanting to broaden thier minds. There is only one problem, it's all a load of rubbish!
There was a reason the philosophy was left to the great minds like Plato in ancient greece, because they could actualy carry it off. Thier philosophy actualy made sense. To prove me point I will quote somthing that a friend said to me once. I was saying how I found the anatomy and physiology of the body hard to get my head around because it's so complex and his reply was "It's not complex, humanity simply makes it complex".... er no it's just complex.
Anywho I think I'm just about done with this rant for today, in closing dont consider this an intervention, by all means continue to try and broaden your minds, it's refreshing to see but please consider this a bit of friendly advice to think a bit before you spout some more vague "everyday philosophy" which has nothing to do with anything ^^
Oh and to make the obligatory art related comment here, I'm submiting 2 new pieces today, yay! and whats more they are Wolfs Rain pieces. Yes thats right, contrary to 9/10ths of my portfolio I do draw from existing anime's too not just my original stuff.
Till next time, peace
