Philosphy is not for me(14M) i guess
I was js exploring Marcus Aurelus and came across a 2 hr video by a desi philospher I actually understood most of what he was saying, but after watching almost half of it I started feeling that maybe I'm too young for philosophy.
Some of the ideas were beautiful
Live each day as if it could be your last.
Don't judge people only by how they behave today they may have gone through things you know nothing about.
Forgiveness is often a sign of strength not weakness.
The problem isn't that I disagree with these ideas. It's that they make me think about life in a passive nihilism
I'm 14 n rn I think I should focus more on building my life than trying to understand life I don't want to become overly detached or accidentally develop a passive nihilistic mindset by misinterpreting ideas that I'm probably too inexperienced to fully grasp.
So I'm wondering:
Should I keep exploring philosophy at my age or should I come back to it when I'm older and have more life experience?
