Philosophy

The world has evolved into a new change because of the change in thinking, living perspective and that has been possible because of the advancement in technology that let people aware of new thinking, and gave them a new primitive lifestyle. As far as ancient people are concerned they lived their live in the world where they have primitive thinking. They lived their life prior to so much technology that now people in this technological era take for granted. In my opinion we are not superior to them, because the reason lies in the fact that they lived their life in a very realistic way. Today we are living in a world where time is flying away, it's a very fast paced world, where we do not even have the time to serve and live every bit of it, and we are busy in every moment. It's an artificial world where we are dependent on technology, and automated machines. We should have asked a question to our selves what if these technologies would be snatched from us or get departed from our lives. The question that should be pointed on our self have a very simple answer to it, we will get paralyzed because we do not have the habit of walking, nor doing anything on our own, because we are dependent on the technology. Those people are real heroes who really strive for food, and living. Their living style and primitive thinking was the real example for all of us (Strauss, 1959).

Though those people were not educated enough or have more information than we do, that is because of the technology, but we should not forget that those people had philosophies that we are following till now. They were the real people who strive and invented and discovered those inventions.

The above teachings of Aristotle imply that one should adopt a sole purpose to lead his or her life and that sole purpose must gives rise to happiness and peace. In a way, this above teaching of Aristotle matches with the proposed philosophy because Aristotle also emphasizes on the betterment of the world by promoting and flourishing joys and happiness. Socrates did think he was this man of immense wisdom. However, he was always humble; he said that anyone can reach his level of wisdom. The true wisdom that Socrates held was not due to a large amount of knowledge that he possessed, it was the opposite. It was the fact the he possessed very little knowledge. I believe he tried to show everybody that it is not how much you know, rather what you know

I agree, with Socrates, because you can have a plethora of information or, you may pose yourself very knowledgeable ...
