Tinker
Don't you just love the intelligence of other people and how we can benefit from learning about the knowledge that they know from what we see and hear afterwards.
When I read George Will quoting Hamlet I seemed to feel
better right away.
Hamlet: "Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape
of a camel?"
Polonius: "By the mass, and 'tis like a camel,
indeed."
Hamlet: "Methinks it is like a weasel."
Polonius: "It is backed like a weasel."
Hamlet: "Or like a whale?"
Polonius: "Very like a whale."
After reading that quote I felt like a thirsty man who were
wondering around in a vast desert without a drop of water to drink far too
long, when suddenly it began to rain all of the water that I could save, and
swallow. Content to simply be alive again.
In explaining the feeling that I seem to appreciate the most
from the quiet transfer of intelligence from someone else who bother enough to
study what they are talking about. I have hope again that we can still somehow
find the right way to keep improving on what we have already done together, and
to not destroy each other after all.
We don’t need the halls of Ivy to tell us anything because
in reality they are only made of building material from the people who made
them. But what really matters is the wisdom that we learn from you and me
whoever we are, wherever we are.
Or of course I could just have a good smoke too.
