i get asked a lot of questions…
there was a time
when the only thing
i’d get asked
is
“do you want fries with that?”
but now,
i seem to get asked
for my opinion on things.
i don’t know
why that is,
and frankly,
i don’t like it.
i don’t really
care to share my opinions,
mostly because
i don’t think it matters.
i try to be polite,
but every now and then
i get a question that
sets me off…
something that
kinda brings out the
devil in me.
like today…
i get this e-mail
that asked:
“i’m a big fan of your books
and i’m also a philosophy major.
i’d be very interested
in hearing your opinion
on the difference between
believing
and knowing…”
it was just too easy.
i couldn’t resist.
i wrote back and said:
“dear sir;
i got your e-mail asking for my thoughts
on the difference
between believing
and knowing…
well,
honestly,
i believe i just don’t know.”
