six-word discussion
« Thread Started on Jun 12, 2012, 2:21am »

So, as my very last assignment of high school (given by my English teacher, of course), I was asked to write a six-word memoir. Basically, to sum up my life in six words. I came up with this:

Spacing out since nineteen-ninety four.

This one's pretty lame, but it was better than some I heard and at least it says something about myself. I'm a spacey person.

And tonight I figured I would start a thread for people to write their own memoirs, and I thought of this:

Are possibilities worth more than knowledge?

Now, clearly, that sentence doesn't even try to sum up my own life. It's a philosophy. Read on, I'll explain:

I have the deepest respect for technology. Have you guys ever thought about how computers work? It's just wiring and electricity but it manages to do so much. You're connected to the entire world via the internet thanks to wiring and electricity. Holy. Sh*t. Cameras capture beautiful images using the same stuff. Telescopes have shown us that the darkest parts of the universe are actually bursting with hundreds and thousands of galaxies, each holding millions and billions and trillions of stars just like our sun. Who knows what could be out there? Races just like humans, for sure, struggling to overcome their differences and advance their species. Natural wonders far greater than Earth's own. Species the human mind could never have imagined. I am so glad that in this life I am able to appreciate the mystery, the infinite possibilities the universe holds, rather than having been born in a time when everything has been discovered. I hope in my next life I get to see some of the miracles the universe, without question, holds. Maybe human scientists will travel to a Pandora-like planet and catalogue millions of fantastic species. I hope the human race makes it that far.

So there it is. Not a belief, but a question I ask myself time and time again: Is the possibility of new discoveries more valuable to the human race as a whole than the actual discoveries?

Here is how I want this thread to go down: Anything can be discussed. Anything. But every post you make, you must write an on-topic six-word sentence, sentence fragment, list of words, whatever, that introduces or sums up the explanation you will write following it. For example, someone who wanted to answer my question about possibilities negatively might write, "We pursue answers, not more questions." And I might write "Answers are meaningless without their questions." And so on and so forth.

Let's get this party started.

More knowledge gives us more possibilities.

The early bird catches the worm.

(Does that even make sense? I always hated that saying. Worms are icky. But I can't think of a better one to express this in six words D: )

No early bird without alarm clocks.

(I suppose the phrase "the early bird catches the worm" is supposed to mean that if you don't get up and try, you'll never achieve anything. Just my take on it, hope I helped Accalia!)

Alarm clocks need to be set.

This is turning into a sillier discussion than I had in mind. xD But that's okay!
