I know this means something

Hmmmm. Well we are used to being told that everything has a meaning, a purpose. We sit behind our desks, pens in hand, jotting down notes about what we have been told are the best philosophers. But, isn't everyone a philosopher?  We all look for the meaning of our lives, we solve problems, and create our own identity and philosophy. Our lives are where we display our philosophy.  In my opinion, it is okay to learn about the greatest philosophers of all time because they created what is seen as a great awakening to the philosophical world, but i think that we give them way too much credit for their thoughts.  They might have been the "greatest thinkers of their time" but its because they were scholars and there weren't that many people that could read or write so their thoughts stood out the most. If we glance at today's society, there are a lot more people that are educated and literate so they can all write down their philosophies even though they won't be taught at schools across the world for years to come.
