If you’re gonna get entertained, might as well sit down.
The world we live in is such a wonderful place, right? Human engine has fueled a number of creations that make it ever more interesting (at least for us humans), but still I would argue that – generally speaking – the simplest inventions are also the most useful and amazing. Sure, computers are interesting and all that, but if you think about it, all technology pales in comparison with something as simple as a chair. Can you imagine a world ripe with computers but lacking in chairs? That would just be cruel! How would people manage to spend so much time in front of their computers without a place to sit down? Obviously they wouldn’t, and moreover without chairs, there’s a good chance our civilization would never have reached the contemporary stage of development! Have you ever considered this?
Hum… before I get side-tracked in one of my customary rants, maybe I should point out the station where I joined this train of reasoning, so you don’t assume I’m merely talking crazy. You see, I don’t quite recall how I got there, but just then I was lost in comtemplatin of this online store dealing with folding chairs and folding tables, and I was thinking… such an ingenious little thing, the concept of folding furniture. But then again, the concept of furniture is quite mind-boggling if you wrap your mind around it. In my opinion, it’s the little things that we take for granted – that’s where the real strokes of genius can be found, from whence everything else ultimately unfolds. Just as writing this post right now, even as I sit upon… a chair (although it’s not folding, but I trust you get the point): being alive is really a wonderful thing… just as long as we let it be!
