letter to the prospective philosophy student

Dear prospective philosophy student,
I am going to get straight to the point. Taking this course is not easy. It is a lot of work, not written work but you will have to put your minds to work. Your brains will be tested… don’t be discouraged by this, don’t run, take on this task. It is well worth it and you will have a good time.  You will learn things essential to life, learning to be reasonable is of utmost importance because we all have to make choices and accomplish goals. Being reasonable enables us make good choices, accomplish our goals, live a better life, and become better people. We all have either a friend or family member that is an unreasonable person, and we look at the decisions that they make and we are disappointed and we judge them based on their lack of ability to be reasonable but without this course that Can… and will be you.
Morality is another of the important traits that will/should be learned because our decisions can have a powerful impact on ourselves and others. Our decisions can help or hurt people. A perfect example of this is the movie “Crash.” This movie depicts how the decisions and lives of one individual can tie in and affect the lives of so many more. IT’S A MOVIE TO BE SEEN. Just like philosophy is a course to be taken
