so lovely! i want to say what I got out of this

the moon is an abstract metaphysical object that we all learn and agree has many different social meanings. this toolkit of thought and feelings allows each of us to engage with philosophy whether we have a high level learning of it or just an introduction, and in the most important way: to be relatable to others. we reflect each other the way the moon reflects the sun—not perfectly, always in our own qualities, but beautifully and relatable

also love that you brought up Vygotsky's concept of scaffolding within the ZPD

Is am reading this at 1 in the night and something about your writing feels like a warm aged wine by a fireplace.....Feels like holding the person you love the must just like that......I guess I have not read something like this written from the very soul in a very long time✨❤️

Your way of writing is so intellectual that I found myself thinking of the philosophical conversations I had with my favourite uncle long ago on a starry night by the fire place✨

You have a way with words and continue to weave magic 🪄

I remembered reading about Maslows's Pyramid from Fault in our Stars by John Green

I truly think that philosophy is an ever encompassing thing in everyone's life......

It's just that people like us who are book worms or rather love the company of ourselves so much that we start to romanticise small things as well and start calling ourselves philosophers✨🥲

Anyways sorry for this long comment

If you've read the whole thing, Kudos!

Keep going!

Philosophy is still a riddle to me.

I enjoyed reading and still trying to understand how beautifully you described.

The moon can alone shine the whole universe while all the innumerable stars together cannot.

A good read
