Why ask a philosophy question when seeking your own truth?

That's not a good statement. Not fair, or RUDE? not sure, let me think, The truth is relevant, the truth is GOD. Seek and you shall find.

Peace grasshopper

I'm curious as to why you care what people ask, or where they post it. Each person must seek their own way. If we're so busy watching, and finding fault with others, we just might miss the good stuff that comes our way.

I say, "live and let live." If you're busy really living your own life you'll be so busy you won't have time to watch other people, and how they're living theirs.

I feel that in asking a philosophy question it brings each individual closer to their own truth. However, I must say, there's only one real truth, and that's God's word. So, as long as you align your own "truth" up with God's Truth you'll do okay.

I'm not sure what you mean by "your own truth." When I ask philosophy questions, it's either because I'm curious what other people think and why, or I'm looking for THE truth--the way things really are in reality.

3. A system of thought based on or involving such inquiry: the philosophy of Hume.

As the definition shows, philosophy is based on logical reasoning... not on a person's "own truth". Like it or not philosophical reasoning is based on facts (inductive reasoning, or deductive reasoning), not just on pure speculations.

Mostly I am just trying to educate through questions and answers. I seldom hear anything new or informative in Yahoo because I don't have a very open mind. I am the know-it-all at the center of it all.

because it gives me a difference view and help me to seek my own answers. Sometime they help me to get to know myself from comparing the answers that I've never thought about.

because philosophy can help in your quest for your truth.

One must philosophize the truth, before the truth can philosophize you.

to gain assurance to support your own thinking, or in other words, to affirm that what you think is indeed valid.

that's what hitler's grandmother asked.
