Why Read Philosophy?

This image is the symbol for the reality we swim in.

Is there a better way? A different, truer reality?

Have the scales shifted too far to one extreme at the expense of the other?

Are our ladders propped up against the wrong walls?

And our collective focus misplaced?

All four of these questions would make a profitable meditation ... if I can muster the discipline to lock myself alone for a couple of hours.
