Thinking vs reading philosophy
This is a two-panel image meme that humorously depicts a person's reaction to the idea of philosophy versus the reality of engaging with it.
On the left, the caption says "Thinking about Philosophy," and the image shows a young girl with a cheerful expression, propping her head up with her hand and gazing dreamily upwards. She appears to be in a state of pleasant contemplation, representing how one might romantically imagine the act of pondering philosophical thoughts.
On the right, the caption reads "Actually reading Philosophy," and we see a contrasting image of another young girl who appears to be in distress, with one hand on her forehead and a look of frustration or confusion. She's holding a pen to a piece of paper, which suggests that she is working hard, possibly struggling to understand a complex philosophical text.
The meme playfully suggests that while the concept of thinking about deep philosophical questions can seem appealing and profound, the actual process of reading and understanding philosophical literature can be challenging and less glamorous.
