A (very) short tale for people tired of the next "New Discussion"

Mullah Nasreddin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side:
“Hey! how do I get across?”
“You are across!” Mullah Nasreddin shouted back

Philosophers, like the famous cat, crossed and didn't cross the river at the same time but sometimes we all need a Mullah Nasreddin

Some people talk to pigeons and some people will never have enough room, even in a world with infinite space.

Reply to thewonder Indeed... but there is a third kind of people, those who don't talk, just think.

A bliss in itself. I shall have to wonder.

“Hey! how do I get across?”


Perfect example of asking the wrong question.
