Stupid STUPID nature

”Stupid STUPID nature” you mumble to yourself, while frantically running around the house, looking for that little ”back-scratcher”, you allways seem somehow to misplace. All the while the itching gets worse and finally you give up searching, fall to you knees cursing nature. ”You evil, heartless, thoughtless, inconsiderate nature. Why the hell can´t I reach!?”

 

 

Finally, in despair, you call upon members of your family, to help stop the relentless itch. - Which raises the philosophical question...

 

 

”Daddy.. Why are the fingers not long enough to reach?”

 

 

”Well son” (you ponder, with that well known paternal look) ”The ways of nature are mysterious and beyond even the comprehension of commen men.”

 

 

”Really dad!”

 

 

”Yes son. (and after a thoughtful pause you continue) ”Actually .. now I come to think of it, it is not quite unlikely that once, in ancient times that is, man where more dexterous and actually able to reach. But... I guess civilization have evolved, so as our intelligence have now... well... sort of ”overcome” our physical abilities, enabling us to use tools instead.”

 

 

”Really dad!”

 

 

”Yes my son. But human evolution is VERY complicated, perhaps one day you will learn more about it in school.”

 

 

And so knowledge and wisdom, as a divine gift are given from father to son. So the most ancient of knowledge and the oldest of wisdom, is kept and not lost throughout the centuries.
