On the Subject of Wisdom
By Christopher Munroe
Every river flows into the sea.
It’s the sort of thing that sounds immensely profound,
pregnant with meaning. The sort of koan in which deep truths can be found, if
only you find the wisdom within yourself to really look, to truly understand…
…and yet, if you stop to think about it, it’s a completely
meaningless turn of phrase. Factually accurate, but with no more depth than the
equally true “ice is cold”, or “the sun does shine”.
Nonetheless, say it to somebody after a few drinks, in the
right context, and who knows? It might just get you laid…
