Intersting question. Yes, I try to make my own decision, just because
everyone things somthing doesn't make it right. I think more about
what is fact and what is opinion. I am more concious of what is an
attempte to change opinion. I am more concious of how morality
changes.
I question what I believe. I am more concoius of my own right and
wrong. It helps sort out whart is important and what is not.
Philosophy is not really that useful. It is more the proscess that I
look at questions. What is really good and bad. Someone gets on the
hill and says this is good or this is evil or criminal. Most people
just believe it I step back and question that assertion. I have
numerous reactions to cometary I see in the media or in society and I
get annoyed when I see movemnts that remove our freedom. First by
social convention then by law.
