Philosophers are:
Consumed by truth, realising, like few others, its magnitude and unparalleled significance.
Never satisfied with answers derived from others.
Unable to leave pregnant words/ideas alone: birth must be given; the new life cherished and shared.
Restless.
Often poets. Almost Always writers. (Except Socrates).
Avid readers of many subjects.
Contrarians, but not always contrary.
Solution seekers, not just dreamers.
Connected to nature in unusual and meaningful ways.
Social commentators and pundits.
Boundary pushers.
Usually not understood or appreciated.
Paranoid.
