Maybe it's not logical. I don't know. I don't care. I've been asked didnt I think it odd that I should be present to witness the death of everything and I do think it's odd but that doesnt mean it's not so. Someone has to be here. ↗

You must know nothing before you can learn something, and be empty before you can be filled. Is not the emptiness of the bowl what makes it useful?
