The age-old classic paradox:
"When did you stop (beating your wife)?"
Answering yes or no is not a good idea.
But this paradox is bypassable.
You can answer with "I have never beat my wife", and it is bypassed.

Daily Wondering #29-Hobby, Habit, and Job
As a blogger, I find doing this a mix of these three words.
Hobby, Habit, and Job.
I tell other people I do this as a hobby.
To me it seems like it is a habit.
And I feel like you guys think this is a job.
What separates these?

Daily Wondering #28-To and Back and In Between
What is a journey?
It could apply to so many different things, but where does it apply to for you?
There are a lot of journeys, as in stories, and personal lives, etc...
Personally, a journey is whatever you make it. It doesn't have to be long or short, all things are just interpretation.
So if you interpret something as something, that becomes whatever you interpreted it as.
This doesn't always work, as our brains are somewhat locked to one interpretation.

Daily Wondering #27-Thresholds
What are the thresholds for things that don't have a definite threshold?
For example, when is a mix of two colors one of the other colors?
Are there even thresholds for such things?

Daily Wondering #26-Acceptance
My deepest condolences to anyone who has been affected in the Orlando terrorist attack, by the way.
Attacks like these only happen because humans cannot learn to accept.
We are all humans, it doesn't matter who you are.
Why accepting all people as people is so difficult is astounding to me...
Why do you think we can't learn to accept?

Daily Wondering #25-Limit of Evolution
All beings evolve, with the purpose of improving.
But is there a limit to this?
Is there a time when we have evolved so much we can no longer evolve any more?
What do you think?
I say the limit is so far in the future it appears to be endless... for now.

Daily Wondering #24-The Deeper Root of Sentience
What is sentience?
Sentience seems to be required in order to feel and think.
But why does it exist?
Why must we be sentient?
There seems to be no meaning in anything.
Nothing really exists.
So is sentience all that important?
