– Honey, I think we need to talk. You’re 30 already and you do nothing but play video games. Will you ever get tired of them and find a good job?
– Mum… I understand how you feel, but working for the video game industry can be as good a job as any other. I earn €1.000 a month doing what I love. Why would you want me to work anywhere else for the same amount of money?
– I don’t know… yes, it’s not all about the salary, but… you studied economics, you could have a steady job working for a big company…
– But you know I wouldn’t enjoy it. I prefer being happy to being rich. Don’t you?
– You got me there!

A- Darling, I’m looking for the car keys, have you seen them?
B- Shh, I’m listening to the news, let me hear what they say about this corruption case…
A- Another corruption case? It must be the third one they’ve uncovered this month
B- Damn politicians… I voted for this party because they promised to put an end to most of our problems… and there they are, taking our money away, as usual…
A- That’s why I never vote… They’re all the same… Whoever you vote for, they’re just in politics to make money… It was so naïve of you to think this party was different…
B- You’re right… I won’t make the same mistake again…

A: Hey, you look kind of distracted. What’s on your mind?
B: I’m thinking about my life, my role in this world, you know… How will I be remembered when I die…?
A: Deep thoughts, huh? It’s natural to reflect on such things from time to time. Don’t let them get to you, though. What’s bothering you specifically?
B: I feel like I’m stuck in a rut… I’m like everybody else… I want to be different, I want to make a big impact on society. Take Ellon Musk, Michael Jordan or Messi!Â
A: hahah come down to earth! Alright, you want to be remembered… so what kind of contribution can you make to society?
B: That I don’t know. I’m bad at sports, acting, singing… I don’t have any special skills that can make me stand out from the rest of the world…Â
A: I see… you could just focus on becoming a better person… I mean, know yourself, be kind to the people around you and be there when they need you. What do you think about that?
B: I like the way you think. I guess the world doesn’t really need more superstars… this would be a better place if everyone focused on simply being a good person, right?Â
A: That’s right! that’s the idea! Do you feel better now?
B: Absolutely.Â
Hey everyone! Have you ever wondered about life’s big questions? That’s what makes studying philosophy so fascinating! In philosophy class, we explore ideas like what makes us happy, how we know what’s right or wrong, and what makes a good life. It’s like a journey of discovery where we think deeply and discuss these important topics together. Philosophy helps us understand different perspectives and develop our own thoughts. It’s not just about finding answers, but learning to ask the right questions. So, if you’re curious about the world and enjoy thinking about deep ideas, philosophy is definitely the subject for you!
