Unwise people fill very few bellys or pay many hospital bills. Wise people may do both and help others to do the same. If you are for that, you are for philosophy. Don't be fooled, marxism/socialism is a philosophy (more accurately an ideology [edit]).
ETA: Incidentally, the word is "bellies".
Ha! Thanks for the spell check. I see the ambiguity. I meant that unwise people fill very few bellies, not because they think it is important, but because their lack of wisdom limits their ability to fill MORE bellies (A wise person can and would fill more bellies than an unwise one)
A wise and an unwise person can both think full bellies important, but the wise one will be better at filling them. Thinking it is important, and deliberating which ways are best given the evidence of reality IS philosophy. Deciding which way is best before evaluating reality is ideology.
