So what does that title at the ^^top^^ mean anyway?? "A Pic of the 'Big Pic'"??

The 'Big Picture'. The grand scheme of things. The unified theory of everything. The overarching claim. The true meaning. The.....*gulp*.......purpose of everything. What. Is? The. Purpose? Of. Everything? Jeeze,why don't you just shoot me now. Seriously, you expect me, a human being, to determine the purpose of everything? Nope. No way. Not gonna happen. Not now, at least.

But maybe...

You have taken the time to think about a purpose...

And you think, "Oh, yea, that sounds reasonable/logical/plausible/etc." But right when you think you've made some kind of philosophical progress, YOU GET SLAPPED IN THE FACE BY MR. POSSIBILITY. He tells you: "Oh, no. That may sound reasonable.... But have you considered this possibility?". You put in all this effort to support your original claim but Mr. Possibility keeps countering with his divergent alternatives.

Then he rants on about the fact that all things are possible; even the impossible. Which, I guess, suggests that there are things that are not possible; even though he just said anything was possible. That dick.

No one likes Mr. Possibility. He's always ruining the moment. Someone comes to a great conclusion in their life, then they get slapped. Yes, Mr. Possibility is "that" guy.

I do believe, however, that we should give Mr. Possibility some credit. He seems to be the only one who actually realizes how vast our world really is. Maybe we should think like Mr. Possibility.

So what am I actually saying?  >Even when you've figured everything out, there's always more questions to be asked. There are SO many questions to ask. What's the purpose of having a purpose? What's the purpose of having a purpose for the purpose of a purpose?......... Purpose?

Should we limit ourselves to only one "idea" for each and every thing in the world? Why settle for cake when you can have coffee as well?

There are infinite possibilities and there are no possibilities.

There's always a larger frame of reference for whatever you're looking at.

You can always take a picture of another picture. No matter the detail.

  1. The annoying thing is that even if you think you have found one answer, that answer opens up 100 more complex questions. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
