On June 16, Fathers’ Day, the two of them created a twelve-pound, four-ounce bundle of joy that ended up giving them many gray hairs and wrinkles on the rocky road to his horizon. The lessons they taught me and the love and kindness they always showed me made me the man I am today. Although they are no longer here on earth with us, their spirit still lives on inside me. I will now attempt to explain to you exactly what this twelve-pound, four-ounce creature turned into and why.
Someone once asked me, “Did God create man, or did man create God?” I said, “Why do you want to know? Why does it matter? What would you do with that information if you had it? Both entities exist at this juncture, so what difference does it make? Clearly, the only empirical answer to that question is, it’s either one or the other.” That answer was good enough for me. Thank God for people who ask time-sensitive questions like these about God eons too late. Where would we be without them? Or a better question might be where would they be without their questions?
At a very early age, I began to see that intellectuals spent a lot of their time on mental masturbation; they wallowed in pondering the “chicken or egg” mystery and the “If a tree falls in the forest” pyridine. I’ve always tried to avoid all intellectual pursuits. I’m sort of an allectual—a cause-and-effect, action-and-reaction sort of person. I focus on the eternal beauty of our primal id that makes us who and what we are. If and when a tree falls in the forest, I have no interest in analyzing the sound waves it produces literally, metaphorically, or in a philosophical way. The first thing I think of is will there be enough yellow caution tape in place to prevent nature lovers from getting injured? I have a tendency to use the word “next” much more often than I use the word “why.” It is with this mind-set that I tell my stories about the common, everyday gentle souls that dwell within the common, everyday male and female human bodies as they go through life seeking the truths that matter to them in the here and now.lihat lebih sedikit
