Question

Is life really much better if you view it from a philosophical perspective almost all the time?

Answer

In some ways, yes. Its nice to know your own mind well enough to free yourself from the tyranny of your emotions amp desires. You do fewer things you regret, and more things youre proud of. You let go of anxieties, and suffer less.brbrIn other ways, no. You can begin to feel detached, and your experience of life can get less intense and spontaneous. In the middle of, say, falling in love, youre thinking, quotthis, too, shall passquot thats a loss.
