wants and needs.

some say that you'll spoil your children by always getting them what they want, and what one should do is only get what they need, not want. well, i want a new laptop. and i doubt anyone would argue when i say i need a new laptop. but that's not gonna happen. not soon anyway.

zaki had an interesting personal message today. the chinese has this term that's supposed to mean you're confused/you're at paradox called "矛盾", translated into engish it literally means "spear and shield". so zaki's pm was: "what happens when a sword that cuts anything should strike a shield that blocks anything?", which basically means the same thing as the chinese term, so basically, i answered him like this:

"when a sword or blade that could slice anything strikes a shield that could block or deflect almost any attack, the very fabric of reality tears at that moment,and the balance of space/time would be disturbed. probability and singularity gets mixed up and the two items would cease to exist, therefore removing the paradox from this dimension and thus restoring balance. "

okay, so i didn't really answer him with so many lines, but what i said to him was around there, and all he said was "OMG. GOOD HYPOTHESIS". damn. i think i deserve a little more credit for that amount of imagination.
