I've had such a long, bad day to close out this long, hard week that even the most fundamental truths are not making sense to me anymore.
Like, two plus two equalling four. This, quite frankly, isn't true. Two plus two could equal anything; it depends entirely on the identity of the two.
For instance, if each of the two is a half of something, you only have one. If each of the two is a rabbit or almost anything taxonomically close to a rodent, you have not four, but possibly a kazillion.
I'm just sayin' that life is a little more complex than it might seem, and that language has a part in speaking the truth.
Like I said, it's been a doozy of a week.
