If I was smart enough I'd help do that. But I'm not. I'm a nincompoop. And I'll be dead soon enough.

And I'll be dead soon enough. What for?

If I was smart enough I'd help do that.

Beautiful thing about it is that you don't have to be smart to be useful.

Let me ask you something: If you could only ask one question of someone you hadn't met, to determine if they could be trusted or were on the same page, what would that question be?

Same thing I ask myself. Who is the I within you? Or more succinctly, "Who am I". It's a Zen koan and you can't answer it, really answer it, until you've spent days, weeks, months, years, asking it over and over again. Somebody sees, somebody hears sound. Who is it? Look for it in your own consciousness and try to find it.

Didn't mean to go overboard with the answer but I wanted you to understand the level of depth I meant the question to reflect.
