"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."


At first my philosophy class was pretty kool and I liked having discussions about things and hearing what others thought about stuff, but now it's starting to annoy me. You see, there are kids in my class who think they are so philosophical and so they try to prove this by questioning EVERYTHING! I mean, yes I am in a philosophy class and this is what we're supposed to do but come on! Questioning everything to the point of, "is this desk really here?" or, "is this desk real or is it just an idea in my head that I have created?" Well of course the desk is real! It was made by a person in a factory! And it's not just an idea, its composed of atoms! So basically this is what I go through everyday in philosophy class. And when one of these kids poses such a question, the teacher thinks it's "so interesting!" and so on and on we go discussing whether even we as humans are really here on earth, or whether we are just the ideas of some creatures, living on another planet in some sort of ultrauniverse! And I kid you not, these are real conversations that my class has had. All I want to do, during one of these discussions, is say to all of them the words of Sigmund Freud... "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

Way to go, Babe! I'm with you. . . people can think themselves into the absurd and, well, I agree: sometimes a cigar is just a cigar! Keep voicing your opinions. Straighten out that class of yours!

Guess who?!
