NO KNOW

Can it be that we are each but a thing that can think? Go ahead, think about that. A piece of paper. Can you imagine it thinking?

Well, you say, we are not a piece of paper. No, we are not. We are blood and bones and tissues. You've spilled some blood. Can you imagine it laying there on the floor and thinking, "What am I doing here?" When you scratch your arm, can you imagine it thinking, "A little higher".

Well, you say, we think in our brain. We do? So think of a physician cutting your brain out and holding it in his hand. Will it be able to think, "Careful, don't drop me". You think it needs oxygen, blood, and a nervous system, to think. Douse it with, drown it in, oxygen and anything else you wish. Will it think, "Boy, thought I'd never get out of that body!"

Are we a thing that can think? Close words...thing, think...but not the same. If we are not but a thing, what or who are we? Are we a thingummy, a thingumabob, a thingumajig, a thingumadad, a thingumajigger, a thingumaree?

And of all the things we do know, why is that one we don't know?

Think of that.
