Notice that whenever /lit/fags try to explain what they've learned from philosophy, it's never anything concrete, applicable or useful. There's also, conveniently, no way to test if they have actually learned what they claim they learned. It MUST always be ethereal wishy washy bullshit.
All you're saying with your reply, anon, is that reading philosophy made you feel good. Mental masturbation can do that. But there are better methods to feel good, such as having sex.
