I know you are ignoring oldman's messages because you can't address his questions; I feel honored to be included in his company.
But those questions aren't going away, and neither am I. |
I am not ignoring oldman because I can't answer his questions, I'm ignoring him because it is futile to do so.
Theoretical conversation:
Me: "the sky is blue."
oldman: "Which sky Daniel?" There are lots of "skies" in the universe - which one are you talking about? Do you think that our sky is the only one that's out there? That's very self-centered of you Daniel! BTW, how old is the earth..."
Me: "I meant the sky on earth oldman."
oldman: "Blue to who? To humans? What about the other trillions of species that have occupied this earth? Are you so self-centered that you can only consider your own perspective?"
Me: "forget it".
oldman: "I knew your views could not stand up to scrutiny Daniel. Thanks for admitting defeat. I am the victor. Daniel cannot answer my questions..."
