There are two kinds of BS (bullsh*t):

The ones other people tell you, and the ones you tell yourself. The latter tend to be harder to deal with.

Ok, I got a little bored and ended up toying with some philosophical ideas =) which is arguably useful

For centuries (or even aeons) philosophers all over the world had been pondering, arguing, and sometimes kill each other over the definition of reality. What is real? If you think about it, a stone looks like…. well, a stone. But in reality, the stone is only hard because the temperature is right. If you add several thousands celcius to its temperature, then the stone will no longer be a stone anymore, it will be a form of molten mineral. Similarly, if you look at yourself, and look at yourself 5 years before, and 10 years before, and 5 years from now, or maybe 10 years from now. Which is the ‘real’ you? the younger one, or the older one? Before you start to think that the world before you is real, think again:

Try to close your eyes, plug your ears, touch nothing. And then you see darkness, you hear nothing… where does the world go? This means the world as you know it, depends a lot on your senses. Without your senses, you are pretty much blind, deaf. *D’oh* isn’t it obvious? I think not. While there are senses that we can physically see, there are also other senses.

Imagine you are buying a dozen of roses for your loved one, and then when you start to count those roses… one two three… eleven!! yep, there’s only eleven. Then you ask the clerk and he will fix the missing rose. You know a dozen roses is …well… twelve roses, not just eleven or even thirteen (though I think you won’t complain if there had been more). This is also another form of ’sense’. Why I say so, because this ’sense’ is inherent in us. Most human who’s literate enough can count.

Such and such… There’s still more about this topic, but apparently I got really tired and it’s 1131pm already, my sleeping time… perhaps I will deconstruct reality some other time   =)
