A simple question

By theassasin3453

We as a species have declared a question to be simple. But what is a simple question? The defination is as simple as who am I 

Who am I? I am a gentle person who is always curious. Who, strange word isn't it, who is but the form following the function of what, so what are you? I am a is a normal human. What is normal? average. What is average ? Feelings and their past. Don't you know some people have pasts that they wish would go away like you. You father was a drug additc and your mother was suicidal. One day they left and you were alone and hopeless. Look into that mirror and tell me who are you?

Laughing he said to me I am a monster. He broke the mirror and picked up a shard of glass.Tighting his grip on the shard he utter one last laugh and in a flash he had slit his throat. " A man is least himself when he talks through himself, but give him a mask and he will tell the truth"

    refers all and author to jean-luc godard's la gai savoir (the joy of learning) "I want to learn, to teach myself, to teach everyone that we must turn back against the enemy that weapon with which he attacks us: Language.... It is necessary to dissolve sounds and images in order to analyze them. ‘Images: we meet them by chance, we don't choose them. Knowledge will lead us to the rules for the production of images.’ ‘In ‘isolate’ you have ‘island.’ We are on an island.’ Things and phenomena. Video pictures and sounds." i enjoyed the concept, but how can you only start to investigate/contemplate one word and not all of them...
