What's your philosophy?

I am still in search of it....

I am here to help. No really ever wonder when you search for self persuits like fame, relationships and what not, you seem to fail? It is because when we actualy do whats good for humanity and try to make others lives more rewarding our lives instantly feel better.
I mean theres more depth than that but i have to go to work :/
even just a smile or a open body gesture to a stranger can mean loads. Never be rude or insensitive to other peoples feelings you may ride them off.
This deep sensitivity of mine comes from how utterly sad i feel when someone thinks they are worthless, you know that thought going through someones head before they kill themselves? its rawr and horrible we actually might have the smallest influence on a stranger.
sexist, i feel really sad that women commonly still are less assertive because they often ask for things with an underlying doubt in their mind that they will get it, its why men are still in higgher buissness positions. hopefully that changes and there is equality

I'm a person, not a philosophy. Thus my answer won't cover the entirety of my actions, but I hope it can shed some light. One philosophy I hold most dearly is "think." I hold it because thought breeds understanding and understanding breeds a better world both objectively and subjectively. My second philosophy is Jesus. I'd explain, but I only seem capable of cheapening Jesus with my own thoughts. He's much greater than I. These two ideas make up who I am to the greatest extent of any I can think of.

I would suggest reading some of the classics of philosophy, consider what many people across the centuries (who can speak to us through the works they've left behind) have had to say about the great questions most of us ask at some point in our lives.
Not a comprehensive list by any means:
Plato, Epicurus, Marcus Aurelius, Voltaire, David Hume, Kant, Hegel, John Stuart Mill, Robert Ingersoll, John Dewey, and Bertrand Russell
Robert Burns if you want to add some poetry to the mix.
Read up on the latest scientific findings of our time and of the past. Come to appreciate how much we are learning about the universe and our place in it. You can find many of Richard Feynman's lectures and interviews online for example.
Likewise for political treatises: The Second Treatise of Civil Government by John Locke and The Spirit of Laws by Montesquieu come to mind.
My philosophy isn't so much an uncritical and dogmatic acceptance of what the famous philosophers of past ages have to say, for there are many ideas they express and axioms they adopt that I don't necessarily agree with, as much as an effort to take in as much information, from many different perspectives, as I can.
From this basic foundation of terms, one can make a better informed decision as far as further reading and areas of particular philosophical interest.
For what it's worth, I don't 'hate' anyone who might happen to disagree with me (say the inclusion or exclusion from the list above). I look at such interactions as a chance to learn something new whether it be details about a position I don't hold and are unfamiliar with, or clues to peoples' psychology and the how/why of their worldview in general.

Life is like a video game. You collect coins and level up. Sometimes you get hurt by the dragons and have to burn a few consumables. No one comes out of it alive so it is all good fun while it lasts.
I hope I didn't hurt the dragons' feelings.

I don't and won't trust anyone and feel the middle ages have come back to haunt us through the greed of politicians- so my philosophy is to try and enjoy life in the UK before it becomes complete oppression.

I am a Christian. The answers to life's questions are plain and simple. No philosophical wallowing is needed.
