"فیلسوف کسی است که ساعت شما را نمیگیرد تا به شما بگوید چه ساعتی است"
— Daniel dennett
Simplified Meaning:
A philosopher helps you think more deeply without taking away what you already have. Imagine you ask a friend for the time, and instead of just telling you, they take your watch, check it, then give it back. That’s annoying, right? A philosopher wouldn’t do that. They help you understand things better without needing to take something from you. For instance, if you’re unsure about what makes life meaningful, a philosopher might guide you with questions instead of just giving you their own answers. This way, you learn to find and understand the answers on your own, using what you already know. It’s like teaching someone to fish instead of giving them fish; the lesson lasts a lifetime and makes you more self-reliant. You can apply this by trying to solve problems or understand things by using what you already have and seeking others' advice without losing your own perspective.
