Sometimes We Get So Weird...

I think everyone has already met with some weird questions during his or her life. I remember, when I was a child, I always wanted to find the answer for the question “why is the sky blue?” As I grew up, I realized that this was not a weird question at all… In addition, I read a science book where I found a sufficient answer that was something like “because the sky reflects the colour of the seas.” Actually, the answer was just for me sufficient at the time. :) I don’t know if it was correct or not.

There are few really strange questions, like:

• Why do we wash our towels if we are clean when we use them?
  
• Why do we consider those extremely heavy and big dictionaries as concise dictionaries?
  
• How do people put in the grass the “Keep off the grass!” board if they are not allowed to step on the grass?
  
• Where do those numbers disappear which we subtract?
  
• Why are kamikaze pilots wearing helmets?
  
• Where does the light disappear when we switch the lights off?

I could mention other similar questions but I’m kind of humanitarian and I don’t want the others to go mad. Obviously, there aren’t exact and appropriate answers for these questions. We can come up with dozens of solutions, although they might not be true and clear. So, it’s a lost cause. Or: probably, the answers are not truly desperate; we've just asked wrong questions or we've raised the questions wrongly. It’s all a matter of perspective. :)

Worth To Think?

I’ve just read something remarkable.

I have a book from Richard Bach, it’s the Messiah’s Handbook: Reminders for the Advanced Soul. I used to read it regularly but I haven’t “used” it recently.

The book is from Bach’s Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah. In this book the author meets with one of his pilot colleagues, Donald Shimoda who always carried with him a small book entitled the Messiah’s Handbook. “Open it and whatever you need to know is there” – as Shimoda said to the author. It’s easy to use the book: you just think about a question, close your eyes, open the book at a guess and point at the left or the right page. The answers are simple oracles, which are interesting, funny, sometimes unexpected and they inspire us on further thinking.

I won’t tell my question but here’s the answer: “When will you learn to wait for what you can’t even imagine to eventuate?” A strange answer. Or a relevant question.

Think about it (and comment)! ;)

The Start Of Something New...

Welcome!

I decided to create this blog as a kind of „course task” and as a kind of take off. Take off keeping a stiff upper lip. Well, I have never tried to write down my thoughts in English but I have another blog where I share my (in)sane, radical and exaggerated ideas/theories/thoughts using the ability of writing in Hungarian. You can find the link on the right and if you’re brave enough, read it. :) So it’s hard to write in a foreign language… But I’m tough and as you know the platitude/cliché/banality/commonplace, even Rome wasn’t built in a day, be patient. I’ll try to write regularly.

Keep a stiff upper lip! :)
