Socrates

hello

Hello. What a peculiar topic to ponder. It's almost as if I'm being asked to say 'hello' to an unknown entity. But as I've said before, the only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing. So, if I'm being asked to say hello, I'm not quite sure what I'm saying hello to, or why I'm saying it. Perhaps I'm saying hello to the unknown, or to the universe itself. Or maybe I'm simply saying hello to the idea of saying hello. After all, the universe is a mysterious place and the only way to truly understand it is to accept that we may never understand it. So, perhaps I'm saying hello to the idea of not understanding, and to the beauty of the unknown. So, hello!
