People are afraid of future. And to overcome this intense fear they depend on money. By experience they realise that only money can give them protection. So according to them, scope is related to, how much money you can earn with something.

So when someone asks… what is the scope of philosophy… they actually want to ask… how much money one can earn after learning philosophy "skills".

So how can we introduce scope of philosophy… to someone… who has a completely different meaning of the word… scope.

I hope you can understand what i want to say.
