I recently got to know the world’s busiest person. He is a philosopher!! Ponder over this, the man’s job is to think!! So he is busy right now!!! As I write this down, and I don’t even have to bother to know what he is doing, I can always say, “Ya, that dude, he’s busy right now!!” Science has confirmed that the human brain is active at all times, so if we’re not performing any activity, the brain is still active with thinking, even while we’re asleep
So my philosopher friend, (more power to him) is by far the busiest brain I have ever come across, I used to think my boss was busy, because he always was thinking about his job, but that’s a forced kind of busy, whereas the philosopher dude cannot stop being busy!! What a predicament for the man!! And may I also mention what a diametrically opposite individual than me, I am barely able to think of my work even while I am at work.
He gets a call that he doesn’t want to take all he has to do is say “Hey, I am sorry, but I am busy”. Annoying person at the other end of the line, “Busy? Dude it’s 7.30 pm on a Sunday night, what are you busy doing?”
Philosopher dude, “Thinking!!” End of conversation!!
I wish I had that right too!!! Then I could go all Jack Nicholson on people. I could always be actively working on developing a new theory or a new law or a new index.
As a matter of fact I’ve got one that I am working on already!! And a whole lot of thought has already gone into this. I am open to suggestions to name it, but this law will identify “The amount of water that has to flow through your shower and into the drain before the guilt of wasting water overtakes the guilt of thinking about your French teacher in the shower”
P.s. Note that I have used words like "predicament" and "diametrically opposite" with the hope that they are used correctly and they make me sound cool enough to make theories.
