There is no real truth, or even reality

How're you doin'?

There you go again. I bet it's all warm and fuzzy in there.

And, hop! Here come some pseudo-credentials. I bet you even have your degree on your office wall. Someone might doubt you have one, after all... Maybe the little ego would be hurt then. :'(

go on, hurt me. who knows, maybe I'd like it.

bottom line: I don't care about your opinion -- who would?

what, your mommy didn't love you or something? such heat ... must have hit a nerve somewhere ..

I think Scriabin is there confusing you for me. He seems to be confused a good chunk of the time. 🙄[/b]

I guess you are right, in this instance.

I must have lumped you into the same undistinguished category as our Pal there. Yep, you are filed under the same tab -- sorry about that -- I put you with him in the "annoyed, frustrated and on the thin mental edge" tab.

Yes, I get confused at times when I am confronted by a confederacy of dunces as they aren't really worth the time to get them straight -- so they get a swift kick, so to speak.

NOTE to saner readers:

watch how easy it is to unhinge some folks --how upset they get as soon as you get anywhere close to the bone, which is their comfy little sense of THE WAYS THINGS ARE.

works every time. but that's why they pay me ...

Oh, I agree. 😀

Mullah Nasrudin ran into a merchant's tent and asked the owner, "Have you ever seen me before?"

"No, never!" he replied.

"Then how do you know it IS me?" Nasrudin cried.

he agrees ... but he's the guy this one is about:

One day, as Nasrudin was getting dressed, his wife said to him,
"Mullah, you always put on your right shoe first. Why is that?"

Nasrudin answered, "Wouldn't it be foolish to put on the wrong
shoe first?"

So it's the Real Truth that there is no Real Truth?

A judge in a village court had gone on vacation. Sufi Mullah Nasrudin was asked to be temporary judge for a day.

Nasrudin sat on the Judge's chair with a serious face, gaz ...[text shortened]... Nasrudin.

If you can only see two sides of an argument you are missing something.

"If you can only see two sides of an argument you are missing something."

And if you can't see the truth, then you are blinded by whatever it is you think you do see.

So there is Truth, because you can see it.
