Uncultured swine here.
If I have an Existential Crisis of something that cannot be avoided, should I Learn Philosophy or Psychology?
Philosophy deals with the study of the nature of life and life hereafter whereas Psychology deals with the study of the mind and its behavior.
If I choose Psychology I could learn about how to deal with the crisis, but it won't cure it; If I choose Philosophy I might be able to cure it, but It can also fuck me Up REAL bad.
I don't have a lot of time to learn both due to my cool but stressful career.

>In ninth century China, Chan Master Yúnmén Wényan (known in Japan as Ummon Zenji) made quite an amazing impact by deflating all such forms of piety. His most famous one-liner stemmed from a question posed to him by a monk. The question from the monk was, “What’s the Buddha?” His answer: “A dried shit-stick.”
>Kōshō Uchiyama writes that Auguste Rodin's The Thinker, in which the "back, waist, legs, arms, and even fingers" are curled up, is the opposite of zazen posture.
