So, I was reading this thread (http://philosophy-forums.com/showthread.php?t=126), when I decided to ask around and see how people elsewhere got interested in philosophy. I was first formally acquainted with it in college, and didn't really think about before then.

I just found that I had a knack for giving good advise and that I think a lot and like to figure things out.

Was exposed to philosophy in college and it made me start thinking. As can be seen on this site- the key question is What is the meaning of life to which i do not believe anyone has produced a truly valid answer that applies to all. It does give a person a sense of his well-being and a construct to enable to live a life that is going in the right direction (whether it is religious or not, is inmaterial).
Additionally it has provided me with more knowledge on various topics from a historical basis to enable me to better express/argue my rationale for believing as i do

As a teenager, I read Will Durant's Story of Philosophy.
That book is amazing! It gets my blood boiling, still (even in my philosophical "maturity").
Maybe, it was Durant's approach to presentation?
