@Alexander_96 well, Philosophy, as I would describe is the "Thinking about things most conteporary people wouldn't willingly think about during their life time". It is important by the fact that you can live without learning why most things that happen during your life time happens, But it makes life easier and smoothly if you do know WHY things are happening, and you can know the "Whys" by studying philosophy from the past. You can also try to philosophy about the present and the future, but that require some sort of passion and insight.
