Is philosophy a verb or a subject ?

Title says it all, I'd like to know what you guys think about this. My opinion is to philosophise, is a verb, it's something you are actively doing, almost like a mental sport even. Opinions ?

maybe try philosophizing

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

It doesn't really matter whether it's a verb or a noun, it is intrinsically interdisciplinary so I suppose it would be difficult to tie it down to a subject area. The word comes from 'philosophia' which translates to "love of wisdom". How I define it intuitively is that it's simply the process of parsing through thought and information in an attempt to understand.

I like that one. My favourite on the subject is:

'A philosopher is a person who knows less and less about more and more, until he knows nothing about everything.'


--------------------
Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.
