Basic philosophies of life evolve and are defined through common place events. The mind wanders when a person gets up in the morning to go to work. If the work is of a solitary nature, a person has a lot of time to think. If there are co-workers involved, the kinds of conversations that people engage in the workplace, reveal a lot about personal value systems. People who don’t work must find ways to occupy their minds and even in what appears to be bored, mundane activity, philosophies develop. The business of performing everyday chores and errands are also settings for the development of the thought process.
