Moving on… Life’s Questions

Now we are done with slating Asian food, and in the spirit maintaining the element of randomness within my blog, I am making a shift from jest and banter to something a little more thought provoking.

From time to time we all think of things that seem very important, but yet we don’t know the answer to. Im not talking about the “does God exisit” question, that one’s easy. He does.

Now you may have some answers, theories or comments regarding the issues I discuss, in which case i would be more than happy to hear from you.

Logic- I have always wondered who it is that defines logic, and is logic actually the best thing to have?

What is logical to one person may not be logical to another, so in that case who is right, or more correctly who is thinking logically? Or is it simply a matter of perception?

I’m sure we would all agree that genius is a great thing.

But isn’t a genius someone who thinks “out of the box” and not in line with the mainstream logic that most of the “average folk” are deemed to posses. If we were all to think in the same “logical way”, would this not smother the sparks of innovation and hinder us from reaching exiting new heights?

I’m sure if you mentioned to people two centuries ago that man would fly in a big heavy metal vessel in the sky they would have deemed that an illogical feat to accomplish. Or that we would be sailing in metal ships that weigh tonnes and still be able to float.

One should not feel constrained when thinking, nor compelled to conform their thoughts to norms that others of the Human kind percieve as correct. People can stop you talking, can stop you moving, can stop you doing, but while you are alive, nobody can stop you thinking.

Thinking is an art we were all provided the tools for, but very few utilise them well.

Time - Another one that has me thinking. I mean, what is it that defines time and how fast or slow it goes? I’m not talking about how quickly the sun goes up and down, that’s just a measure for us to tell how fast the time is going, but what is it that makes time go that fast?

Different animals, insects etc have different life spans and although they live on the same planet as us, do they have the same sense of time as us? Some of them have a life time of one week, but I’m sure to them it seems a lot longer.

Also, we are always fascinated by the conecpt of time travel, and who knows whether or not it is possible, but looking back at events in time is possible.

Hypothetically speaking, If we were to have a big telescope and place it 20 light years away (which would be a loooong way away), but once we look back down at the Earth from there, everything we see would have taken 20 light years to reach us and thus we would be looking at events that happened on Earth a long time ago i.e, looking back into time, but not physically going back in time. One, step at a time hey

Frogs - Frogs are an amazing creation, they way their bodies have been expertly designed to enable them so live so well both on land and in water, everything from the webbed feet to the way they breathe. But there is one burning question to be asked:

Is a frog’s butt watertight?

Peace out.
