English to Tigrinya Translation (why philosophy)

Why philosophy

About three months ago, I bought a newspaper and was fascinated by the Shebab column about “Philosophy of Time” when someone I know closely came up and said, “And you're going to be useless to call yourself a philosopher.” I told him the guy confidently said, “It's quiet, it doesn't make sense, it's nonsense, it's only going to confuse your thinking.” Well, the latter was worse than the former, and it surprised me so much If the field of philosophy that discusses ethics is in a hurry, what's the point?

Humans are inquisitive by nature and there are questions in our daily lives about what this is, where it came from, why it came, to whom by whom ...etc We are surrounded by unanswered questions that seek, and we struggle all our lives to find answers to these questions of life.Forgive me for being wrong, but life itself is the answer to our questions.

It doesn’t mean you become a philosopher because you have a long beard, or you have pulled your hair, and you wear fine glasses.But philosophy is a spirit of wonder and admiration.

Author Beyene Hailu wrote in his philosophical book “The Expectation of His Desire” that “ If a person loses his spirit of wonder, he is going to the grave.” A groundbreaking statement because if we do not wonder and build we will not enjoy any beauty He doesn't have it ,Let us wonder and wonder not take everything as a given.Let us say for example how gardens grow the answer may be simple they feed air through the nostrils of their leaves, water and minerals through their veins and grow.This may not surprise us because we take it as a given But how could a living plant grow from lifeless soil?

Today, when most of us hear Shebab philosophy, it is one thing to fly Satan who saw it as a cross. Because we have the understanding that philosophy is about being immersed in the unreal, shaking your brain by bringing up questions and analyzes that exist and do not exist, in short, like a blind man searching for a black cat that is not in a dark house. On the other hand, philosophy makes us think and research, rational and logical in our decisions.It frees us from dogmatism and leads us to the right path of knowledge while thinking and researching clearly.This is understood by the famous philosopher of reason and mathematician Rene Dascartes who wrote cogito ergo sum “I exist because I think.” On another occasion, the Greek Socrates exclaimed, “It is impossible to live an unexamined life.”

A philosopher is brave and does not hesitate to criticize the wrong ways he observes in individuals and society. That is why he sacrifices his life for his fact-based research and way of thinking. Socrates was accused of bringing in new gods, refusing to obey our gods, and corrupting young people. As a sentence, he was offered three options: first to keep his mouth shut, second to leave the country and third to accept the death penalty Socrates, however, chose the third option because he did not want to live as a refugee in another country. Surrounded by his students and friends, he bravely squeezed the cup of hemlock. Socrates would probably have no place in philosophy if he had chosen the first two options. Philosophers, scientists like Marcus Cicero, Baroque Spinoza, Sigmund Freud, Galileo Galileo, Giordano Bruno, Nicolaus Copernicus ........ etc. are the ones who risked their lives for the principle and truth they believed in. There were so many others who were victims of persecution, isolation, and inquisition. Philosophers pave the way for scientists. What we accept today as science was once philosophy. For example, Copernicus overcame the later idea that the earth is geo centeric with the philosophy that the sun is helio centeric. As science today proves, Copernicus was right. It was Adam Smith who finalized the philosophy of capitalism, and today we see capitalism as the dominant economic system. So if these today are the result of yesterday's philosophy, then tomorrow's scientific facts are the result of today's philosophy.

A philosopher is like a child Research shows that a four year old child asks 300-400 questions a day As we get older, we become less surprised, and we accept the world with its flaws as a gift, and we leave the field of philosophy altogether.

Maybe you’re funny I remember when I was 5-6 years old, the most surprising and worrying question I had was “Why does it rain?”. What do you think I answered with my analysis at the time: “When God opens His great well in heaven, water comes gushing to the earth.” I just exhausted myself, went down, went up, and philosophised and got this answer and I am certainly satisfied.Today Decades later, I realize that I have completely lost the inquisitive and researching nature of the time.Perhaps it is because I have taken the world and its problems for granted?

“philosophy never bake a bread” There is a saying that philosophy never bakes a bread, meaning there is no income or dinner as a philosopher Philosophers were accompanied by poverty. This is probably why he and his wife Xenthipe argued every morning.

But should everything be measured by income and money?Does answering life questions necessarily require money ,I don't think so, I don't think so !!!!!!!!!!!!

The Greek philosopher Plato divided the things that matter in life into three categories:

Category 1: Natural and essential, under this category food, shelter, family, friends, philosophy are included.

In the second category: natural but unimportant, such as a large comfortable house, meat, fish, servants, slaves...etc.

In the third category: the unnatural and unimportant, include fame, power, and money.

So Shebabs, let us not be afraid of philosophy, let us approach it, let us love it.Let us treat it as any field, let us be interested in it. etc. How good it would be if we could learn it.
