Meditate on that

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to anyone who's reading this, I hope you are all having a great day and I hope things are going good for you. As for myself, it's christmas so yeah. Chea.

Also I got a heavy bag for christmas so CHEEEEEEEE HUUUUUUUU BATAH.

It's christmas, nuff said.

As for quotes, here are this post's quotes (not that anyone really cares or anything):

"You can compare us to whoever you want. I don't care. Comparisons and labels have no effect on this band. Fact is fact: We are who we are and they are who they are.

"It isn’t just that war is hell. It’s that war must be hell, otherwise why would the enemy ever quit?"

What is it like to be a bat?

OK so, the other day, Royal bought me some books, "50 philosophy ideas you really need to know", and "The atheist's bible" (I'm not actually an atheist, but not sure if my actual beliefs could be categorized as an actual religion..) Anyways, I found this in the philosophy book:

'...imagine that one has webbing on one's arms, which enables on eto fly around at dusk and dawn catching insects in one's mouth; that one has very poor vision, and perceives the surrounding world by a system of reflected high-frequency sound signals; and that one spends the day hanging upside down by one's feet in an attic. In so far as I can imagine this (which is not very far), it tells me only what it would be like for me to behave as a bat behaves. But that is not the question. I want to know what it is like for a bat to be a bat.'

Take a moment and read it again if you have to, now ponder that long paragraph of a statement, and think... What the fuck? what would it be like to be a bat really? what would it be like to be any other creature, rather than a human being. What would it be like to be a human of slight difference from your own self? Mind blowing isn't it?

And as always, to end this post, here are some quotes:

"Philosophy is questions that may never be answered, Religion is answers that may never be questioned"
