until then answer me this ............
I have been in quarantine due to a infestation of nits that where carriers of bird flu and Ebola. After an intensive regime of shampooing and combing, they are gone and I am back.
Whilst resident at the nit sufferer colony on a small island in the Indian ocean with only my Tamil speaking hairdresser cum carer i had much time to think and write and not just about the plight of nit sufferers around the world. My thoughts however where drawn to a bigger question...
What is the meaning of life? Yes, this is a biggie. I know. But i am not wanting philosophy or science. I see the deep answers being simple realistic and practical ones that we take for granted. This question can be jiggled a bit to make it easier to understand. What is life about? What does it mean? What makes you get out of bed in the morning. What do you want from it? What are we meant to do in life? What do want for the future. What do you want for your children, family, parents? What do you think your neighbours want, do they want the same thing? What does the world need?
I want to find the simple real and practical answers (not necessarily solutions) to these questions. I want to know what makes people get out of bed, what life is on a day to day level. And hopefully as I travel around the place form some pattern, or not. Find the similarities, the differences amongst people who live in different places, speak with different tongues. Where the sun has made them different colours. Where people pray in different ways to different gods, and where people have fat bank accounts, people who's wealth is kept in gold or goats.
That said, these are my questions. Perhaps a slight guide for the angle I intend to take. I do however not only want your answers, but also your questions. If you could ask anyone anywhere, anything, what would it be?
Please share this email with anyone who might be interested or able to offer insight. I would also love to be put in touch with any crazy, special, normal people that I may meet.
This is not meant to be heavy stuff. It is a simple question that needs simple answers. And what would your questions to me be......... butler.hanna@gmail.com
