Your humility is warming. I've actually got a lot of time for philosophy as a subject - granted, it can seem very abstract and wishy-washy at times, but I think it's good to try and wrap your brain around those questions occasionally. What annoys me is the smug sense of self-satisfaction a lot of them tend to have, which welgar so accurately describes.
But then I suppose the reality, as you rightly point out, is probably too depressing for most of them to deal with.
