Philosopher

The kind of person that looks at the world in a way that very few people can. This person looks at all the angles of any given situation and judges dispassionatly. This person is never understood, mainly because they think about things that could potentialy break the spirit of those around them. Many people do not like the philosopher. Always trying to find people to prove them wrong. Some people get rubbed the wrong way. But in reality they are just trying to find that person that can show them up mentally. This allows them to think more on a subject and improve there own understanding of something that they are curious about. In a constant state of learning. Always willing to listen. They love a challange and loath the simpleton. To be a philosopher is to carry the burden of the mistakes of the world. To sink under that burden that can never be cast away. But they do this willingly. They do this with love. They do this for you. Somebody has to question the things that nobody wants to question. So they do. They advance in practicality. Cold blooded at times but true. So next time you meet somebody that fits that description. Do not look at them with annoyance. Shake that persons hand. Have a deep conversation with them. Challange them. Challange yourself. You might not like what you hear but remember this. I promise you that the philosopher does not like what comes out of his mouth any more than you do.

The point in a late night conversation where normal get-to-know-you chit chat is thrown out the window for something much deeper and Aristotle in nature. Philosophizing primarily focuses on the human condition - the intricacies of romance, politics, personal goals and desires, and typically goes nowhere. The gist of philosophized conversations are forgotten in the morning.

The only kind of person that actually knows what he or she is talking about.

The best kind of person. A person that just thinks about things, which then enables other people to do things.

Relating or devoted to the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence

The most dangerous sort of person. By means of intuition, thought, symbols, and words, a philosopher may build or destroy civilizations, all behind the scenes, unknown by those who end up using her ideas as everyday beliefs. The power of the philosopher, for good or ill, often lasts well beyond the grave, over centuries and millennia.

Philosophers aim at discovering truth. As truth is perspectival and has an historical aspect, no philosopher or philosophy captures all truth absolutely in all its possible nuances and applications. Many thinkers misunderstand this fact of reality and human finitude, while other schools have grasped it.

Those that don't understand the limited nature of human beings believe their philosophy is a complete system that explains reality absolutely, usually with disastrous consequences historically; those that do understand this create philosophies that are open-ended and admit that progress in understanding is possible over time, each generation adding and amending errors as needed.
