Philosophy with little exception seems so boring and stale now; hardly anything really new is brought up and instead we just keep regurgitating the old. Anything that can ever be considered mildly new is either continental or analytical philosophy: the former is absolute pseudery that doesn't know what it's talking about (read Sokal); and the latter is complete autism. There's no hope left for philosophy as an academic field.

Can we sum philosophies in single pictures?

I always tell myself that the meaning of life and the way to do away with existential philosophical problems is through christian mysticism and I'm actually convinced of the truth of the Catholic doctrine, but I can't help to have doubt. My faith oscillates so much. I want to remain faithful and I'm convinced of the truth of the matter but I'm a weak person.
