TIMEOUT: "Philosophy bakes no cake"

Illustration taken from "Looking at Philosophy: The Unbearable Heaviness of Philosophy made lighter" by Donald Palmer (Fourth Edition), page 361. This book, used in our Introduction to Philosophy class, is my first ever philosophy book! 

dedicated to all philosophy majors, minors, and students out there

Now and then philosophers have been trying to change the world.
But the chains of an asylum kept them cold inside.

The clamor of the mocking world has never been astray.
They end up with their books as treasure,
with their thoughts as wealth and with their ideas as refuge.

They end up begging.
They weren't fed by philosophy.
The empty stomach overwhelms within.

Hitherto it has always been the case,
but whatever life they have assumed,
it is upon the meaning of what they have taken.

They made a life out of it.

They never baked a "cake" but they have baked a life that everybody is indebted to.

Philosophy will never cause a living but will cause a life worth living.
