Let's look at PHILOSOPHY. One word with so much depth should be shielded from the likes of me.
I am the NEW Philospher. My philisophy makes nonsense of the old "if you can't prove it does it mean it doesn't exist?" mental chunderings. René Descartes was the nutter who philosophed the much repeated "I think, therefore I am," nonsense. What about those por comatose brain-dead buggers, eh. They don't think, therefore they don't exist!.
This is the typical "sounds brainy, so it must be really deep philosophy" that the 'average' thinker/drinker likes to spout without a clue as to what their mouths have just issued. Let's call these people 'Pub Gobs'.
"Take it philosophically" - If ever there was a stupid piece of advice, this is it. Cut the fingers, toes and sexual bits off of a philospher and see how they take it!
"Why worry?" - if the problem has a solution you have no need to worry. If it doesn't then, again, there's no need to worry. WHAT total, utter crap. The twat who dreamed this up didn't take into account one minor factor. Worry is caused by NOT knowing. So let's re-write this as it should be...
Worry when you don't know if a problem has a solution or not.
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is near enough to hear it fall - does it make a sound?
Of course it does. Try this one: A deaf man falls out of a plane that's 5 miles up in the sky. If no one sees him hit the ground or ever finds his body, is he dead? No, he landed in a forest and knocked down the tree that broke his fall and saved his life - and no one heard the tree fall! The man died from being too far from the nearest person who could have saved him from starving to death and thusfore never managed to tell his story. As for the tree that fell and no one heard it - how do they know that a tree fell?
Please contribute generously. Criticisms will be treated without the contempt that they deserve.
