Philosophy

the ultimate study of Truth.

The study of finding the ultimate truths of our existence, lives, and reasons for being here. Digging deeper into the meaning of things to find the core Truths.

Original dictionaries labeled this term as the search for God, who is the ultimate Truth.
"Where do we come from?"

"Why do we exist?"

"What is the meaning of life?"

Is philosophy the search for the existence of our Creator?

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life"

Penguin-wrapper philosophy

Philisophical phrases that everyone knows and groans whenever they hear it. Much like the jokes on penguin wrappers.
Of The Matrix: Reloaded: "Random Bible references and penguin-wrapper philosophy do not a good movie make."

stoner philosophy

Stoner Philosophy is a name given to any way of thinking or worldview/lifeview that is developed over time by an individual who smokes cannabis.

Not to be confused with 'Stoner Logic', which contains a much more comical slant. For example, a stoner might want cheese on toast, and so decides it would be a good idea to turn the toaster on the side and put both the cheese and the toast in at the same time.
Dude A: 'Dude, isn't it amazing, how everyone and everything is connected, and nothing really matters, and in the end everything just returns to the start and the whole cycle starts again, you know?'

Dude B: 'Nice stoner philosophy dude.'
