It's said that less than 5% of the ocean has been explored. Communication meanwhile has evolved from smoke signals and morse code, to real time messaging in the realm of instant instantaneous instantaneousness. You can holla back at your brother two world's away without even getting up from your lazyboy. We are connected. Without wires even. Everyone can converse about everything that's good, and they can share all which is new in terms of news and the current happenings. But what does anybody know? 5% of the ocean has been explored. Probably 5 tenths of a percent of space has been explored. I might even dare to say 5% of the human body has been explored. Beyond all that though, how much of ourselves as people have been explored? All the historians, all the books on the past, all the antique road shows...and yet we still make the same mistakes. We still think we are all knowing, and furthermore, we still think we are deserving of everything that is good. Who are we? Are we a member of a country? Are we a member of a congregation? A member of a society? Are we cool? Are we tough? Are we tough and cool? Everybody is different and everywhere you look it's the same. Everyone looks down because they're afraid to communicate unless it's through a phone or an email that they can hide behind. Maybe i'll wave, maybe I won't, either way i'll see you tomorrow and nothing will be new. 5% of the ocean has been explored. It ain't no thing though to send a picture of your fractured olecranon to your step sister's aunt in southern South Carolina just to give her a good laugh... (She fractured hers trying to elbow drop her dog after he chewed up her new loveseat- dog's are pretty good at rolling quick though!) The point is, everyone knows nothing and they want to tell everyone all about it. Feel for me, I am real, like no other before me I am real, and "right now" is the most enlightened "right now" of all. Just as everyone has always said, and has always said, and has always said. Come here, I want to see you, I have things to say, but these things don't mean much, because I know nothing. I choose to have it that way. 5% of the ocean has been explored.
