“Philosophy is the light of the soul and should be pursued by all rational beings”
— Thomas Reid

Simplified Meaning:
Philosophy helps us understand life better, just like light helps us see things clearly. Imagine you're walking in a dark room; without light, you can't see obstacles or find what you're looking for. Philosophy works the same way for the mind—it guides us in figuring out what's right and wrong, and what gives life meaning. For example, when people think deeply about fairness, they might come up with rules that make everyone feel treated equally. Learning to think this way can help everyone make better choices and live more thoughtful, fulfilling lives. So, just like light is important for our eyes, philosophy is important for our brains.
