Color Blind

Is the color you see really the color your eyes and brain tell you it is? No. What!? Consider. If you look at a red car, the car is not really red. In actuality it is green. (The combination of blue and yellow.) What you are seeing are the light waves that have been reflected off of the surface. The other colors (blue and yellow) have been absorbed by the material. You are seeing cast off light rays of red light.

The same principle applies to all objects. A tree doesn't really have green leaves. They are red. But only in the spring and summer. In the autumn when you see the variety of colors such as red, yellow, orange and so on, you are seeing reflected light. In actuality, the tree leaves are absorbing such colors as green, purple, blue and more.

An isn't it interesting that when all colors of light waves are combined they make white light, but if you combine all colors of say paint, they make black?

Think. Ponder. See the light.

Nothing Makes Sense Does It?

Think of nothing. Can you? If you are thinking of nothing, then you are thinking of something. Is it really possible to think of nothing? As a matter of fact, what is nothing? The absence of something.

Consider this. If nothing in creation, the universe, everything we know of, ever existed could you call it nothing? If nothing is the absence of something, but nothing ever existed, there would be no absence of something. Nothing is a definition that describes this situation of absence and has been conjured up in the human mind to explain this lack of substance. So, if nothing we know of ever existed, nothing as defined above would be a fallacy. There would be no void, no blackness, no lack of something because something never was present. A void is the result of something missing. Blackness is the lack of color or the combination of all colors depending on whether or not it is light waves or physical material such as paint. So "nothing" couldn't exist. Your mind cannot grasp this concept. It's impossible to wrap your brain around this apparent quandary because nothing as we know it is the result of something missing.

Wow! Can you explain that? I have nothing more to say.

Strange Conniving Beings Rolled in Fur

Cats are strange. I have several. Their world is one of sleep, eat, hunt, play, bury their waste. Rough. If only my life were as easy. But, then again, would I have a mind that inquisitively pondered things around me? And would I want to use a litter box?

I've watched the cats eating. If their food is in a bowl, they eat from it. But give them a plate or large tray or dish with food scraps and they no longer eat their food where it's been placed. Watch them next time. And then answer me this. Why is it that no matter how big their serving dish is, they always insist on moving the food off of it and onto the floor or carpet? I swear that if I gave them a dish an acre square, they would drag their food to the far edges until it was pulled off the dish and onto the ground they've chosen to eat on. Intriguing. Strange. Maddening.

Cats. Strange conniving beings rolled in fur.

Uno Squared

The fog lies heavily outside my window. Swirling tendrils of water vapor snake through the trees as if searching for something to eat.

I type.

The world is full of interesting things, things out of the ordinary. I look for these. They are there. They exist.

You must open your eyes to find them. Or should I say open your mind. Don't be satisfied with the norm. Step outside the box. Look around. Be aware. Have a different sense of humor. Don't stagnate.

An example. If you could see through everything, you'd be blind.

Cogitate beyond the cube!
