I stumbled upon this status
message that a friend of mine had put up on her wall, and it got me talking to
myself.
‘Why do we fall?’
‘Gravity?’
‘No Kidding’
‘I am not kidding. Remember, the apple… the Newton guy in white wig who
screwed our lives with his laws of motion... in Physics?’
‘Ok fine. But weren’t you
supposed to say “So that we can learn to pick ourselves up”, like Alfred in
Dark Knight?’
‘I wish I could, but I don’t want too’
‘Wow! I am trying to get
philosophical and you, dumping Confucius or Hume, quote Phoebe Buffay?’
‘Haha! I quote her as I see you are not listening to what I am saying
and still playing that movie in your mind. We’ll talk when you have time for
me’
‘Ok. You have it. You have my
attention. But please don’t give me that gravity shit again or I’ll switch you
off’
‘Well gravity sure is an answer, in a way. Before I answer why we fall,
tell me why do we don’t? ’
