yes it's true..we are the microscopic insects in a rabbit's fur.. According to a book im "re-reading", the world is like a white rabbit pulled out from a magic hat. And we are like the insects holding on to its fur. And good philosophers are the ones climbing up the fine hairs to look the magician straight in the eye.I agree. It's true that some are contented with what they know and what they think they know. Some call it ignorance and some, contentment. We were born on the tip of the fine hairs of the rabbit, we had the astonishment of seeing the world for the first time. We pick up things we don't know and put them in our mouths out of curiosity. And we weren't scared if it will cause us severe tummy-aches coz we were just plain curious. But as we grow older the world becomes a habit, which makes us people trivial. Dogs and cats, and flowers and trees don't excite us anymore. And so is the essence of living.. Surely, the superior magician is out there. People call him names acquied from their religion or notions. But generally he is a 'God'.. What about other tricks up his sleeves? We have no idea about that. Nobody does. Hold tight and wake up tomorrow to find out. I don't suggest that we go back to milk bottles and semi-solid foods and ride in strollers and pretend we haven't seen an airplane up the sky before.. I'm just saying you consider. There are lots of things we still haven't seen or felt or heard, or come across with using our senses. Don't bury yourself down that rabbit's fur any further..Climb up and see what there is to be seen. Discover and experiment.Let yourself free.(sounds like cliches but this is the real deal) After all, "wisest is he who knows he does not know.."
