Nothing to say.

I've been feeling a little weird lately, I don't know what it is. Maybe I got tired of some things and situations. It is like a void, but with a lot of content inside. So many things - questions in fact - that come and go. But I simply cannot put them in words. Things so basic, existential shit and simple wonderings that are too straightforward to express. "It takes a genius to understand simplicity" Dennis Richie said. But what does it take to express it? A hell lot more I'd say. Things that cannot be discussed. Things so preliminary that one has to find an answer for himself. You cannot get an answer for what is the meaning of life, this way you simply can't get an answer for a lot more questions. This is not a place for science. I have been after science for all my life, but I understand that science itself is not anything big. Just a tool for human to explain simple things that happen.
I have been reading about a book in the newspaper some days ago. It is called "Ten Questions Science Can't Answer (Yet!)" by Michael Hanlon. From what I understood, it looks like a very interesting and fun book to read. It gives no answers, it just sets the questions in an ironic and beautiful way that can get you one step closer to the truth. Your truth. Things become so subjective in really big questions, just because there are no simple answers. So, as science taught as through history. When there is no simple answer, we just use what suits as best. So, we accept what makes us feel better. And this is important. Things can be as simple as 42 if we want them to :)

Cheers.
