Intro..

Philosophy.. so, what is that? What is that weird topic nobody wants totalk about? No, I'm not taling about how babies come to this world, is something way less complicated, or maybe more, it always depend on how you think about it.
It comes from the greek words phil meaning "love" and sophy meaning "wisdom", so greek people loved wisdom, at least their philosophers are the most remembered people of that culture, or you remember Hestia, well he was the god of the sun, one of the important members of all greeks culture, religion, and of whom depended lots of greek lifes and, at least I, before looking for his name, never imaginede ho was. But what about Aristoteles, Socrates, Pitagoras (you cant tell me you dont remember him after all those math classes), you all know who were them and at least something they said.
Philosophy is just an exotic word that someone invented to refer to a profound thinking about almost anything, any common issue in life, you can mess it up thinking as a philosopher, and many complicated issues, you can solve them by thining the same way, it all depends on what's on you mind in that moment.
Here is where the example of "All i know is I now nothing", a philosophic thought of Socrates. Without thnking about it you could say, well, study something, or, the first step is to accept it, but if you go deeper on the meaning of this phrase you getto the concusion that you cannot have a the knowlage of the universe, there would always be something to learn, it changes don't you think so?
Philosophy is important to study because is a way to learn how to think deeper, and, why should I do that? because everything in this world is way different if you thin two times about it, maby not philosophicly, but at least two times, people are complex as the world surrounding them, from the smallest and simplest particle to the composition of the whole universe is a theme you can think about, and you can reconsider to study it at least this only time, than just let it go as one class more.

To end this paragraph, that maybe you think is boring, ugly and meaningless, or maybe you thin it has something that you had never considered I will give you a reflection I had while I was writting it.
Sophie's World, the book other classes have as text book may not be what you where expecting, because you thin about a girl named sophie and her world, but if you go back to the meaning of philosophy phil and SOPHY you will understand it refers to the world of WISDOM;). Or maybe not and it is about a girl named sophie. I just don't know.
