I have heard someone say that philosophy is the search for Truth.
I don't know if other philosophers or other philosophies would agree with this but;
Philosophy also searches for the lies.
Philosophy, at least my branch, searches thought and theory, sometime it is a search of the search.
I am a theoretical theological hedonist terrorist.

Sometime for the best philosophy is never to discover any ends.
I have opened countless threads and asked thousands of thousands of questions very few have ever been fully completely answered and maybe about a hundred (if that) questions I have asked have I found not needed to be asked a further question about.
And that is usually because I have become bored with the original.
I hated this at first when I started questioning, sometime still frustrates, but I handle it a bit better now as I find I am quite adept at theorising alone, up to a point that is.
But if it were just answers or absolutes I were expecting I would be a very poor philosopher indeed and I would have had to have given up a while ago.

Thank heavens,
else I would be bald by now from pulling out all my hair,
even my eyelashes would not have been spared,
so short my nails, never again could I satisfy an itch,
not a millimetre of fuse left.
Thank heavens I am Philosopher else I think I would have gone completely crackers by now.
I don't do it just for for Truth but do it most for the Realisation.
Realising how little you will always know can fill a forever.
Realising how much you will never know can empty a oblivion.
All my best,
