philosophy

Previously, i've always thought that philosophy is an interesting subject worth pursuing, just for the sake of having the chance to voice your oppinion.
Recently, however, i have begun to look at philosophy with askance, simply because of the kill-joy factor in it. In philosophy, we are taught to question the things around us, not for the sake of a definitive answer ( which we know there isn't one) but for the sake of questioning. The real joy of philosophy isn't so much as formulating questions (all children do this, mind, it isn't a skill, or an intricate thought process, it's an inborn human instinct) but in shoot traditions, beliefs and precepts down.
Philosophy is not based on man's quest for knowledge, but based on man's stubborn refusal to admit that there are things that arer beyond comprehension. Philosophy is based largely on the assumption that there are no right answers because we don't know the right answers. Philosophy isn't admitting that one is incapable of being ignorant, but a false sense of humility that we can't possibly be right.
Personally, i believe that there is a right answer and there is a wrong answer. We just don't know how to recognize them. Our minds have been constructed to think linearly; we believe that everything comes in black, white and grey, grey being that hazy line in between that we chuck all beliefs, ideologies and "answers" in, just because there is no concrete proof to back it up with.
Philosophy is based on one question: "How do you know for SURE?" although it does provoke thinking, it is thoughtless thinking, because we do not intend, through this teaching, to actually gain any aswers; rather, we are merely questioning for the sake of questioning.
in the old days, such questioning met with a singular response, which i find very suitable. SHUT UP.
And now, before you condemn me as being old- fashioned and square, i shall state very clearly that i think questioning itself is a very good practice, but it must be done with the right reasons. In asking questions, we must be seeking an answer, an answer which, if reasonable, we mean to accept as our own. This is the kind of questioning that children are born with, and this is the kind of questioning that ought to be encouraged. What i am putting down is the adult version of this innocent thirst for knowledge, which leads one to ask pointed questions with answers that we do not even intend to accept. THAT is a waste of time.
