Thoughts are like a strand of pork floss. Sometimes it looks really complicated and confusing but for every strand there is a beginning and an end and something linking both together. In that sense, there is a sort of order amidst all that confusion.

But that was not the point. I was just thinking about the strand of a single thought when that idea occurred to me. It must be the whole year of the pig thing. Sometimes when people tell me things, I see it as one end of the pork floss. However, I have no idea if the people have travelled the length of the pork floss to get there or just immediatedly went to that end.

For example take rich's recent post a couple days back. He was discussing the meaning of life and said that many of friends feel that the meaning of life is to search for true love. That is one end of the floss. How did you reach that end? For me, I tend to trace it to the other end which ends up as: The meaning of life is to find the most compatible set of genes and attempt to pass it to the next generation. And the thing is that it works both ways too, if someone told someone to find a nice way to tell everyone that the mission in life is to fuck and die, it is very likely that one would come up with the finding true love thing. When you strip away all the romance and peripherals that's it isn't it?

I am going to firmly stick to the topic.

So how did that friend come to that conclusion? Was it because he felt his primal needs and just put it as best he could into words without thinking twice about it? Or was it calculated and following a thread of pork floss thought? Both will get you the same words but with different meaning behind the words. One might show you the way to the answer, or at least the thread to the path on the way to the answer which might be neverending anyway.

Ok, the bak kua is too distracting. I give up!
