Why philosphy?

I think that many people see philosophy as a boring subject, as something useless and most of all, something kind of annoying. Well I try to stay with a point of view which does not stereotype philosophy. I mean, if I haven't studied something deeply or experienced it, then I don't know why should I say: I don't like it. After reading the introduction of The Questions of Life, I ralized how many times we say words, express ideas, and even live our perspectives without understanding the meaning of what we are saying/making use of. Also, I find really interesting what Fernando Savater says about how sciences are developed from philosophy, and for me it sounds really logic that we first needed to ask basic questions, leading us into some type of analysis and interpretation, and as a result finding science as an outcome. So what about the thought people have about philosophy being an old subject, well I think they have to read more, and also, from what I've read philosophy is of great use not only for helping us realize many matters in the world, but to understand ourselves and why are we living for? To understand more humanity and to express our ideas, what we perceive of the world and sharing it to everyone. Sometimes I think about the fact that maybe we're just living what we want to live and not what we are "able to live", but I mean that's my point of view, with this book I hope to gain more of them.
