Ninety Nine Things You Need To Know

[omega minimo]

There are ninety-nine things you need to know:

Number one: There are more than ninety-nine things you need to know.

Number two: Nobody knows how many things there are to know.

Number three: It’s more than three.

Number four: There is no way of knowing how many things you need to know.

Number five: Some of the things you need to know are things you already know.

Number six: Some of the things you need to know are things you only think you know.

Number seven: Some of the things you need to know are things you used to know and then forgot.

Number eight: Some of the things you need to know are things you only thought you forgot and actually still know.

Number nine: Some of the things you need to know are things you know but don’t really know you know.

Number ten: Some of the things you need to know are things you don’t yet know you need to know.

Number eleven: Some of the things you think you need to know are things you probably don’t really need to know.

Number twelve: Some of the things you need to know are things known only by people you don’t know.

Number thirteen: Some of the things you need to know are things nobody knows.

Number fourteen: Some of the things you need to know are things that are unknowable.

Number fifteen: Some of the things you need to know are things that can only be imagined.

Number sixteen: At any time the list of things you need to know can be abruptly suspended.

Now you know.

One thing that all the tumultuously tumbling topics have in common is the power of the media lens to contol. Here's to knowing what you need to know. :toast: While our hearts are breaking and before our heads explode, here's to a bit of light at the end of the tunnel....

This gave me a much-needed smile. After a day like today, we all need to know that sometimes, we just don't know what we want to know. Sometimes, we only know what we need to know.
