I have the same experience Aristoddler. There was a story about Thales about this. "Thales fell on a well while he was studying the stars. A thracian girl show her and laugh saying that Thales was so busy studying the sky that he forgot to see the ground." Thales dared the girl that what he was doing is not that useless. By studying the stars Thales know that there will be surplus of Olives next harvest, so he dicided to lease all available Olive presses. Turns out that he was right, and he reap a nice profit.

I like philosophy even though its of no use as a trade, because it is worthy in itself. It is an end in itself. And in the end, it is really that which matters, but I need other form sof studies also, but as a lover of wisdom, I try to leave that to other professionals. They have their place too.
