you are making two big mistakes

1)you think that because you understand that there is philosophy in the world
everyone understands there is need to think about thinking

2)because Chicho gets in a debate he understands what a debate is

Chico lies but then justifies it - no more need be said

Well perhaps you think I am playing some kind of chess game ?

Ah .. But you are wrong EO

You see...
Its only Solitaire ....


Zhuangzi and Huizi were strolling one day on the bridge over the River Hao, when the former observed, "See how the minnows are darting about! Such is the pleasure that fish enjoy."

"You are not a fish,' said Huizi. "How do you know what fish enjoy?"

"You are not I," retorted Zhuangzi, "so how do you know that I do not know what fish enjoy?"

"I am not you," said Huizi, "and you are not a fish, and so it is certain that you do not know what fish enjoy."

"Let us go back," said Zhuangzi, "to your original question. You asked me how I know what fish enjoy. The way you put the question shows that you already knew what I knew. I know that just as we stand here over the Hao."

So Zhuangzi said to EO, do you really wish to be a minnow?

To which EO replied , yes because that way I know I will be happy.

So Huizi then waved his magic wand and Shazam !

Eo was a minnow swimming happily away.

And they all lived happily ever after.


Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. ~A.A. Milne
