I find philosophy to be a way to ask why do we at times do the stuff that we do but on a general broader scale of human consensus. It’s like figuring out what a herd of us beans can do in a particular scenario rather than focusing on what a singular person with their very detailed past would do. And I think human being being a social animal; knowing what a group of us do is always leading us to understand our past better and helping us find answers for our present actions too!
