Does Rumi count?

I think anyone is qualified to be a philosopher. I don't have any say as to whom you find most appealing. Hell, if you wanted to, you could consider your grandmother to be your favorite philosopher.

What is it that you like about Rumi? I've actually never heard of him, so I'm pretty interested in this :)

Both he and Hafiz have quite a bit of a "love the world" vibe going for them. Their writings are refreshing, encouraging, and accessible on many levels.
