A friend of mine works at a hotel. Some guest was upset about something and
called down to the front desk to complain. She said "I'm sorry about that
sir..", and he replied "I don't want to hear 'I'm sorry', I want an
apology".
I think you are confused about what philosophy is - go to a bookstore and
find the philosophy section, and browse through some of the books. Spend
some time doing it, and you'll find what is meant by "philosophy". You'll
see that some of it is valid and some is not.
