Stars, unlike the first airplane, could not have been created by a "what if".

twankle, twankle, little star

do you still wonder what you are?

What if people stopped making "What if" threads, and actually presented some debatable subject matter instead?

I don't know what would happen if people would stop making "what if" threads, but this place would have surely seemed brighter if you didn't make this particular thread.

prove it.

We already know how stars form, & somebody asking "What if?" has nothing to do with it.

of course, obviously there was no person to ask "what if?"

but that has nothing to do with it



infinite creative possibility





what if I stopped wondering what if?



how is it that I even wonder at all?




of course, one might say "wonder less, and be in the present moment more"

but we have, to some degree, more control over the present moment than we give ourselves credit for

and every "do" (as opposed to "think") has a reaction.

and that reaction is a response to a "what if"

whether realized or not




sure, you can't change the pooltable

and the balls will all just wind up in the holes anyway

but what if...

I still gave it my best





see, the thang about debaters

is they like to deconstruct things

always wondering "what if I can deconstruct this," or "what if I can prove this"






well, what if you could?

who knows what might be possible?!

just put some heart into it, because that's what really matters, imo
