Why not?

[EMO]

Why not?

Why what is not and what is?

Why not what not is?

Why is what not not?

Why not live in a world of fantasy?

Return is the movement of the Tao.
Yielding is the way of the Tao.

All things are born of being.
Being is born of non-being.

What is the point of your post?

[Lux12]

What is the point of your post?

To figure out why this thread is here and what people are supposed to do with it.

[MasterMischief]

Who says every thread must have a purpose?  I bet you do what you want with many other threads.  Why not do the same here?

I dunno.The idea of a thread without a point just bothers me.

Why do you think that is?  Do you need order?  Do things all need to make sense to you?  The universe is full of chaos and mysteries.  What is one more?

Very true.

All things do make sense whether we realize them or not. Even chaos and mystery are some how sensible for the universe is logical.

How is this thread any different?

[Lux12]

How is this thread any different?

Threads are supposed to have a clear point the last time I checked.

[MasterMischief]

Maybe this one does and you simply do not realize it.

[Lux12]

Hmmm. Excellent point.

[MasterMischief]

You mentioned logic.  Perhaps we simply need to use a different vocabulary.

What is the difference between 0 and 1.  Not in the numeric sense, but in a more general sense.  What makes something different from something else?  Is that difference real or simply a matter of perception?

Watching everyone trying to figure this thing out is really entertaining. xD

[Lux12]

I just want to know why this thread was created in the first place.

[Beguile's Mistress]

Just for the fun of it.  Nothing more and nothing less.

Relax and enjoy.

I'm not known to be a very relaxed person.

I also get the feeling there's something I'm missing here.

We've notice that but here on E it's a quality that would serve you well.  We like to have fun and sometimes a bit of quirk can be entertaining.

Not everything has a serious point to it though if this thread bothers you there's no need to post in it or even read it.

We all miss things all the time.  There is no conspiracy behind it.  Life would be boring if we understand everything all the time.
