We should dive into ancient wisdom to find the deeper meaning in life. The reason I meant to look at that philosophy is that it survived the great barrier of time. Time is the greatest filter. We, humans, survived the time to become dominant in the evolutionary hierarchy. The philosophies are the self-help literature of ancient times. If it stands out after decades, we call it philosophy. Philosophies are nothing but a guide to become better. It requires quality for the survival of literature. Therefore philosophy can be absolutely trusted.
Genuine conviction is invariably born from firsthand experience. This is because, innately, our belief systems are wired to accept anything that can be perceived through our sensory experiences, a trait that evolved during our ancestral hunting epochs. Once we acquire such direct experiences, no further evidence is required to cement our belief. These experiences thus become the compass by which we navigate our existence. Hence, the optimum method of learning is through experimentation and introspection, for knowledge acquired in this manner becomes deeply embedded within our psyche, imparting indispensable lessons for personal development and growth. Predominantly, our learning derives from the direct experiences of others who possess a profound understanding and apply this wisdom to enhance their lives. Regrettably, we often fail to leverage this wealth of knowledge to our own advantage.
