PHILOSOPHY
DEFINITION OF PHILOSOPHY
Okay let's do it this way: assume that a space ship capable of flying at light-speed, 186,000 miles per second were flown across our Milky Way galaxy; it would still take that space 🚀 ship, 100,000 light-years just to cross our galaxy's diameter.
Ours is a rather insignificant-sized galaxy compared to behemoths of greater dimensions known to us. All galleries, galaxies, exist in a divine universe of inconceivable distance and dimensions away from Milky Way, much less Earth, or mankind.
Yet in by our imaginations we can already conceive what we cannot physically do. That capacity , that capability is the definition of what we know as "philosophy," love of God! Not knowledge; but God in a circumference of total existence.
