Philosophers [random]

Philosophers talk about suffering, pain, love and life as if they experience it everyday. 

But the truth is, most of the time, they are sitting in an ivory tower and in the comforts of their secured space as they preach about experiences that they probably have never experienced themselves.  They are, in my opinion, the farthest away from the very thing that they philosophize about. 

Hence, they can sit there and talk about it in an almost glorified manner because it is a fantasy to them.  They probably have never tried to step outside of their door and take a look.  These philosophers - the ones that only talk - I have no respect for them. 

Of all people, they should know that the way to understand something is to live through it yourself.  Put yourself in the very situation that you talk about and see how you react under those real circumstances.  Not some hypothetical scenarios and what if's and why not's.  That's all bull.
