A little revelation came to me today when I was reading:
We know so little.
When I was reading a certain excerpt from "The Double" regarding the topic of boring, I remembered something Martin Fox once said:
"Only boring people get bored."
When those words came out of him mouth my first reaction was OMG that's so clever I'm so going to quote that! When I was reading though, I realized that a "bore" was someone who was dull and boring, and there really was nothing to the statement beside the fact that we discovered some knowledge of linguistics. It's really shocking the vast amount of knowledge out there that we, as individuals, do not have, Wikipedia is already shocking enough (and at the same time awesome). It makes me wonder the importance of information sharing and also makes me dream about futuristic technologies.
I also met Zimu in a Chinese haircutter's randomly today and he just reminded me on one of those really young, independent Chinese kids because he was dropped off there by his dad and was there himself. On a popular Chinese show 非常6+1 there was a Chinese toddler who was 3 years old and shops for all his vegetables for his mother, and he became an expert on how to pick out fresh vegetables (better than my mom could do) at the age of 3! Isn't the world just wonderful?
And Zimu's Chinese is awesome.
