Lol

A fancy whimsical imagining here, a dire disastrous reality there. :lol:

Knowing what reality is, and living it, are two different things entirely, and are not always subject to mutual exclusivity.. but should be. :)

Knowledge should have a practical use.. otherwise it’s useless and therefore irrelevant, and the irrelevant has no practical purpose. A bit like certain academic subjects. :lol:
