Does something exist if you can't/don't observe it?
- carlio 5y agoIf a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
- wglb 5y agoDon't know, but I have always wondered if the other trees laugh at it.
- ddingus 5y agoI love that. I feel a sense of perspective change that I like. Reminds me to remain vigilant about my sense of play. Losing it happens slow, and yes I have and have noticed. Little bits add up. I like this one. ( scroll right on by, as this is one of those things we might say for the benefit in saying it, not so much value otherwise)
