Philosophers are, by their name, lovers of wisdom: φιλόσοφος (philosophos), meaning “lover of wisdom” (philo = love, sophia = wisdom).
I’m a lover of music, but that does not make me a musician.
There may not be much of a practical living in philosophy, but lovers of wisdom are apt to have other motivations.
As for seeking wisdom, that is a noble enterprise and one with a well-trodden path. Finding it is not guaranteed. The poet Basho (1644–1694) wrote: “Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.”
