There once was a kid.
There once was a kid. He was walking around town when he heard a strange noise coming from the mountain by his house. Curious, he walked all the way to the top, where he found a temple.?He knocked on the door, and a monk answered it. "What was that noise?" he asked the monk.
"Sorry, you're not a monk, I can't tell you," the monk says.
Disappointed, the kid walked all the way back down the mountain.? A few years later, the kid was now a young teenager. He was biking around town, when he heard the strange noise again. Curious, he biked all the way to the top, where he found the temple. Hoping that he'll find his answer this time, he knocked on the door.? A different monk answered it, not that the kid could tell, and he asked, "What was that noise?"
"Sorry, you're not a monk, I can't tell you," the new monk said, shaking his head.
Upset, the kid huffed and biked back down the mountain.?
A different monk answered it from last time, not that he could tell, nor did he care, and he asked, "What's that noise?"
"Sorry, you're not a monk, I can't tell you," this monk said apologetically. With an annoyed noise, the teenager climbed back into his car and went back home.?Now, the teenager was an adult and working a respectable job, leaving home, when he came back for a visit. He heard the strange noise again, and his curiosity was eating at him, so he drove up the mountain carefully and parked by the temple, walking out and knocking on the door.?What was that noise?" he asked.
"Sorry, you're not a monk, I can't tell you," a monk said.
"How can I become a monk then?" asked the man, genuinely curious about the noise.
"You must travel and count every blade of grass and every grain of sand," replied the monk. "Return and tell me the number, and you will become a monk."?
So the man sets out on a journey, counting grass and counting sand carefully. It's many, many years, and when he finally returns, he walks up the mountain on foot and knocks on the door.
A monk answers it, and he tells the monk the number.?Congratulations," said the monk. "You are now a monk."
Relieved, the man followed the monk into the temple. "What was that noise?" he asked the monk, and the monk smiles and tells him.
What was the sound, do you know?
"Sorry, you're not a monk, I can't tell you," the monk says.

We May Have Just Been... At The Most...Young Teen Agers Way Back Then...But Its What We Grew Up With

"TODAY... OF YESTERDAY"
Oh...I See What You Mean...Its Really Unfortunate...That Your Thoughts Stirred You Through That Dark Gloomy... Hazy.... Fog.....Which.... In All Reality ....Was An Invention Of Yours.......................And Yours Only..................................
Maybe... It Would Have Been For The Best.....If They Had Kept Some Things To Themselves...But Being It To Be Un Forseen.... They Didnt
They Really Didnt Think That....... Every Man Would... Crawl Upon The Earth For.... Or .....Over A Woman..... Did They?
Maybe They Were Listening... Too Long.... To That Song........."When A Man Loves A Woman"
Buddy Holly Sang..."Thatll Be The Day"
But In This Case....It Would Begin With...."Thatll Be The Night"..That Theyd Be Standing Out In The Rain
Because Thats The Way... "She' Said.... It Outta Be
And Besides All Of That...Nobody Has A Vessel ....Thats Capable Of Floating Anyway
So..That Scenario... Can Be Thrown Right Out ...The Window
In A Strange Way Though.....It Comes Down To... That...Everything.... Has Nothing To Do With Something
For...As Far As They Could Know?............They Couldnt Get Something... Out Of Nothing
Yet Every Damned Time...Some People... Keep On Trying ....To Do This Very Thing
March On.... You People Of The Miracle Seekers....As You Keep On Your Seeking
May It Be..That One Day........................Your Quest Will Be Served
Maybe... It Would Have Been For The Best.....If They Had Kept Some Things To Themselves...But Being It To Be Un Forseen.... They Didnt
They Really Didnt Think That....... Every Man Would... Crawl Upon The Earth For.... Or .....Over A Woman..... Did They?

"STRANGER TO STRANGER"
Put Aside Your Likes... Dislikes... And Assumations.... That Youve Already Reached...Without Ever Even Getting To Know... Or Getting Nearer... To An Understanding ...Of Just Who ....Anybody Is
For That Matter.....There Is Nobody Here...As Of This Moment... Who Can Really Say ...That They Know Anybody Here...By Using... As Their Excuse And Reasoning..The Written Word...And Only The Written Word
I Cannot Tell You How Many People Ive Run Into In My Lifetime... That Ive Judged... Right Off The Bat
Usually...... Its By That First Glimpse,,The Way That Person Carried Themself....Maybe Even By The Sound Of Their Voice
Hell...I Was In The Usual Super Market I Regularly Go To...And Happened To Say To One Of The Women That Worked There..(That I Knew From Going There So Long)..About One Of The Other Employees..That She Was Not Too Friendly.............................Why Did I Feel This Way?
(Because..Shed Be Nice To The Person In Front Of Me....And When It Came My Turn To Be Served...One Could See She Was Just Going Through The Formalities...And Then Shed Go Right Back To Being Nice With The One In Back Of Me)
And What Was The Reply I Got From The One I Told This To?
"Well..Maybe Shes Scared Of You ....Because You Are Scary Looking".."I Was Scared Of You Too..Until I Got To Know You"...(Imagine Being Told That!).................Anyway......What She Said To Me.... Is The Point Im Trying To Put Across
The Key Line Here Is......"Until I Got To Know You"
The Only Time... One Can Say... That They Know Someone.... Is When Theyve Known Them For Quite A Long Time In Real Life
And Even Then...Things Can Change Very Fast......Where One Finds Themselves Saying Something Completely Different Like......................."Unbelieveable!!...I "Didnt Know" That He/She Was Like That!"
So..If ...In Real Life..One Can Have The Reservation... That No One Knows Anybody... Really.......For Sure
So..It Seems To Me That Anybody..Using The Internet..Who Is Consuming... And Writing.... The Written Word
And Going Only By The Reading Of... And The Writing Of ....The Written Word
Doesnt Really... Actually.... Know Anybody.... At All
