Philo=love of
sophy=thinking

Philosophy means, literally, "the love of thinking"

why do we love thinking? Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, (and that '69' symbol thingy) the great chinese philosopher says it is because we are too lazy and stupid to actually do anything. we generalize our reality because we are too stupid to concieve of things in their true,, particulate form. In other words, reality is too complex for us, so we try and simplify it, with laws, axioms, proverbs, etc, etc. (even the 'etc, etc' part was laziness of thought.)

Our animal nature, however, is what makes us dogmatic in our thinking and philosophy. We want to impose our thinking, impose our will on others by making them, or tricking them into thinking what we want them to think. People, either consciously or perhaps, to the extent our own animal nature is subconscious, subconsciously preach what we want OTHER people to believe, in other words, we lie to them, in order to domesticate, pacify, or confuse them with words and render them either neutral, or we are communicating in order to achieve a common goal based on mutual surivival, propogation.

Christianity is a good example of our subconcious animal nature, Televangelists preach a doctrine that tells you to give all your money away, to achieve oneness with God, but they aren't giving YOU money, they want YOU to give them YOUR money. It's like saying, 'here, drink this poison and it will make you stronger' only you fake like you're gonna drink it then don't drink it at the last second, hoping the other person gulps his cool-aid down.
