Someone asked me, "What is the use of philosophy?" I would smile and reply, "Philosophy is useless, but it is this uselessness that makes it extremely useful." "It sounds a bit contradictory, but listen to me slowly.

Imagine that we are building a house. Everywhere the eye can see, it is useful: this chair gives us a place to sit, this wall gives us shelter from the wind and rain. True wisdom, however, does not lie in these tangible uses, but in the intangible ones. Just as when we use a table, we actually rely on its invisible edges, rather than on the actual tabletop. It is this invisible force that keeps everything in order.

Philosophy is such a window. It may seem useless, but it opens the door for us to understand the world. Without philosophy, we are like a house with only windows and no doors, although there is light and wind, but we cannot truly know and understand the world.

All kinds of confusion and confusion in life, joys and sorrows in emotions, and all kinds of contradictions and conflicts in society, philosophy can provide us with a new perspective and way of thinking. It allows us to see the diversity and complexity of the world, and it also makes us understand our own insignificance and ignorance.

Philosophy is not a tool that can be applied directly, but it can make us smarter, more profound, and wiser. It is a kind of reflection and questioning of the world, as well as an exploration and pursuit of life.

So, don't ask what philosophy is for, because what it is useless is precisely what it is most useful. Let's open this door of wisdom and explore this world of infinite possibilities!
