There are more questions than answers

*************************

We are always being asked to respect people's religion. You don't hear anyone being asked to respect a person's secularism.

I wonder why that is.

Anyway, night falls on this part of the globe. We think of darkness as a thing in itself, but it's just the absence of light. Ah, but could you say that light is just the absence of darkness? Probably not, because you can measure the speed of light but you can't measure the speed of darkness. Well, not so far as I know.

But we are now in the realms of the metaphysical. A dangerously fascinating place to be, but perhaps not at this time of night.

Although, I think that living dangerously is the only way to live. My brother, Hector, says he lives on the edge - a serrated edge at that!

There is so much sorrow, misery, pain and loneliness in the world, I often feel sorry for the human race. On the other hand, there is  happiness, joy and love too. So best to just get on with - and try and see the funny side of things.

In his haste to cut and paste,
He cut when he should have pasted;
The screen went blank,
His poor heart sank -
Another morning wasted.

But never mind, it's only words,
When all is said and done;
Our wonderful brain
Can find them again -
And there's more where they came from.
