Bits of Philosophy
Philosophy has more than' one
depth. In the cytle of becoming'
# philosopher, first >pne becomes
some what of an atheist; next lies
becorries a devout Christian; then
he becomes a pessimist, and per-
haps by a still depeer study of
philosophy he may find that he
will again becomes an optimist. Be
that as it may, we know that a- ■
practical philosophy is valuable to
us in a very material. way, We do
not believe that one should become
a true philosopher, for in doing so
one becomes a pessimist. Even
though this doctrine; is more than
a little like that of the, ostrich
burying it's head in the sand. One
should have depth of intellect
enough to see the pessimism yet
should retain that supreme spark
of optimism. What your reason dic-
tates and what you do are two dif-
ferent things. Be. not so blind as
npt to see all the pessimistic,
things of life—yet not so foolish
as to accept these things, even
though they are true, as standards
of conduct. One great secret of life
is to fool yourself. The ideal'.of
philosophy is to be great enough
to see and realize the facts of pes-
simism, and yet disregard them.
In this manner you have the intel-
lectual pleasures, the joy of know-
ledge, but still retain that com-
mon sense which enables you to
live and .'enjoy life at something
like its true worth—in short, be
an optimistic' pessimist.
