YAY!! I am the first one to comment! Hi Mart, I love this one, you're saying that whatever it is that people say, you gotta learn and experience life yourself. Not from stories, but from first-hand experience.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day, wise rebel!
When one has one's neck inside the marmalade jar, it is easy to forget that there is a world outside of marmalade.
ReplyDeleteGreat one NP!
ReplyDeleteIn our life there are so many unknown things to be discovered - it's up to us to venture out and find out for ourselves. :)
That way, we can prove it isn't flat! Have a great weekend, Marty!
ReplyDeleteSimilarly put, as it turns out, I wasn't born with eyes to be told what to see.
ReplyDeleteTrust no one. Believe in yourself, go check it out.
ReplyDeleteGreat one - have written it onto a post-it-note and put it on our kitchen board - next to the one that states "The map is not the territory"

This one makes me wistful as I am currently only checking out that face from my office chair.
ReplyDeleteA wise thing to do. ;-)
ReplyDeleteit is always great to read your thoughts. yes living life is more important than hearing it through others :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems like two parallels lines that, of course, will never end together!
ReplyDeleteOn this I am clear - the world is a sphere ;)
ReplyDeleteThe world is what we make it to be; yes it is wise to check it out. Great thinking on an important subject. We are the world.

The view can be so different, depending on where you stand--so the world to one may be very different to the next. We are all so unique, we all experience things in our own unique way.

I believe you have come to the correct conclusion with your following Aphorism Of The Day.
ReplyDeletePS Watch your back!
I remember a teacher of mine saying we shouldn't believe everything they say. Well done, dear!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how many unquestioned assumptions are at the foundation of our everyday actions. I have always assumed that I am me...but is there even a "me", or is this an unquestioned belief and nothing more? Thank you for questioning the unquestioned "obvious" in this aphorism n.p.
ReplyDeleteActually the world is shaped like a very narrow bridge.
