The parable of worms

Postby nil on Thu Apr 21, 2005 4:52 am

In a far away Universe, there is a worm with three heads. But that Universe only have two dimensions so one of the head can never be seen. The two heads gossiped to each other and made fun of the third head. Then came the big bang, the Universe gained an additional dimension and the third head showed itself in front of the other two heads.

What is the point of this story?

Maybe it's a metaphor. Maybe it's saying we shouldn't talk about people behind there backs, and that if we do one day they will explode into a big pie and be better than us.

I think the moral of the story is: if you have three heads (some people do), make sure two of your heads don't gossip about the third one, else you will get an headache worst than a big bang.

perhaps the meaning behind this story is that we should not use worms as fish bait, beacaue there is always another worm who will show himself , and that worm will kill you.

I belive that the point to the story was to make us ponder the worm/pie/turtle/whatever therory a bit longer. tub what do I know?

That's true. The more you ponder on the truth, the more truer your thought sounds. It's like when you tell yourself you are pretty, you will eventually become kind of pretty (for yourself anyway).

Then you cancel the statements out and noone has any opinions about you. You just sort of fade away.

won't believe them that you are pretty or that you are ugly?

I think ugly is what a person does, not necessarily their complexion.

Don't fade! Fading is only good for jeans and sunburned skin. I counsel submission, at least in this case. If they all think you're priddy, you probably are.
