Philosophy in the World #2

Philosophy can be sen many times in the real world, and many times people don't know that they are asking themselves hundreds of decisions a day, many of which bring out their philosophical character. I found online a quote from a philosophy professor who said "What is true? What is right?". This is a very interesting question when you begin to seek out everyday tasks and questions you ask yourself. This mostly pertains to if you want to execute an idea, and how you want to go about certain actions, not facts. An example of this has to do with your ethics. I would never punch someone in the face because it is the wrong thing to do, and it is true that of i punched someone, it would hurt them. But if someone punched my friend, I wouldn't see a problem with me defending them, even if the initial attacker was hurt. This also brings in the idea of the tipping point. I mean this by asking, at what point do your ethics step in the way of what you consider wrong. There are hundreds of questions that you ask yourself everyday that you answer in under a second. This is because you know yourself the best, and with everyday tasks your ethics and ideas of living help you make these decisions. These decisions are mostly things you would forget even happened throughout the day, but some times they can be brought out in very difficult situations. Another example of one of these small questions is if you should still eat breakfast if you're late for work. Many people could argue that breakfast is the most important factor to starting a healthy day, and being 10 minutes late to work wont affect anything. If you ask the same question but change it so that your an hour late to work, would you still eat breakfast? This then brings in the argument decided if its right for your work to allow you to miss breakfast. Its true that your workplace expects you to be the on time, but if you sleep in one day out of every one hundred, is it right for them to expect you to skip breakfast for the sake of an hour of extra work? I do not have a set answer to this question, but I find the idea very interesting and hope to explore it more in the future, as well as see how my answer to these specific questions differ over time.
