That comes awfully close to what the religious say about finding faith.
It's in the word. I didn't make it.
Seriously, though, you can call it whatever you want, but people have a lot of free time and they're going to ask questions. Those questions which aren't explicitly pragmatic, like "How do I bake a cake?" are philosophical. If you have a problem with philosophy, you have a problem with questions-- and that's the sign of a dull mind, indeed.
