I KNEW it! I'm a prophet.


Reading a book this morning, I came across the following anecdote:

A little boy says to another boy, "When I grow up I am going to be a great prophet; I am going to speak of profound truths, but nobody will listen." And the other little boy says, "Then why will you talk, if nobody is going to listen?" "Ah," he said, "we prophets are very obstinate."

I'm usually the first boy...though sometimes the second.

like the crate addition on the right side. ah, yes, being philosophical. Could it be like the line, "You're a poet but nobody knows it." sub philosopher for poet. The philosophy of "I don't know" is a good one to follow. how much do we know of anything?
