I'm about to blow you all out of the water. How, you ask, can anything be less worth time reading than enormous smilies? Well, in a place like this topic, the most pointless post...
...Is a meaningful one. Observe...
Think. Is anything, in fact, really pointless? In truth, every action, no matter how insignificant, can change everything. You drop a blank piece of paper on a floor. Somewhere down the line, time will have to be taken to pick up that paper. That was time you could have been getting into your car to go somewhere. But, if you had not been later to get to your vehicle due to that paper, you could have had to stop at many red traffic lights, wasting your gas. Then, you have to go pay for more, which could or couldn't affect your decision on buying something completely unrelated. Suppose you had gone to the local department store to buy something just because you could afford it, because those stoplights had not sped up your car's gas consumption. But as it turns out, a shoplifter has been caught, and turns violent. He may decide to shoot you to scare everyone else in the store. But thankfully all that was prevented simply because you took time to pick up a piece of paper. On the other hand, what if those lights and that shoplifter had been a bit later, and you encountered these events because of the paper?
Take this post for example. In the time I've used to type it, I've not noticed that I want some food, too. But what if, at the moment shortly after I began typing it, The Cat decided to walk past the doorway? Because of this post, I have successfully avoided tripping over a cat. But I don't know for sure that The Cat will not decide to cross the hall when I leave my room, and it will be because this post that I tripped over a cat.
In conclusion, whether it is a long post dissecting how time and the universe work, or a short post with 72 pt. smileys with red eyes, everything in the world is very VERY srs biz.
