Extremely new to philosophy.

Only resently have i begun learning, at least to my understanding, what the basic fundamentals of philosophy are. I do not know whither I'm on the right track, or have zero clue what I'm talking about, in any case.

"A journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step. This quote is trying to express that great things start from humble beginnings."

While trying to comprehend what I have learned, I could not help but think of that oldie i would always hear. If a tree falls in the forest... And how to me it seems like an introduction to the thought process going into a philosophical argument. Such as, can what we call sound really still be considered sound with nothing around to hear it?

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" is a philosophical thought experiment that raises questions regarding observation and perception."

Maybe I'm way of course. But I would love some thoughts

Didn't know there was a legit direction

not out of the woods common meaning, If someone or something is not out of the woods, they are still having difficulties or are still in danger. This may come from the proverb `Don't halloo till you are out of the wood', which is a warning not to celebrate something before you have actually achieved your aim. To cry or shout “halloo” to attract attention or to give encouragement to dogs in hunting. See: Eureka! .. it can be beneficial to have helpful tools See: Motion
