I always thought that a philosopher was a person who had wisdom. I have recently realized that that’s not necessarily the case. A philosopher is actually someone who loves or seeks wisdom, and reading the works of such authors as Socrates, Plato, Russel, Nietzsche, Locke, and the sort, are really just looking through a window to their minds as they were on the hunt for wisdom in their own lives.

I am, in fact, a philosopher – not a “philosopher (of sorts)” as it says in my current definition.
