Panpsychism

[Olly]

This has been ruining me recently. Does anyone else suffer from knowing about it? It sort of means that everything has the ability to experience. Even objects. It's a branch of philosophy that takes the view that all things have a mind or a mind-like quality

I have found myself writing a lot more gently on my writing pad. Even as I type this I'm going really softly. The worst thing is the toilet or bathroom. The toilet takes an awful lot of crap from us whether it's number one or two or the flushing etc. It's making my life a misery. I gently drive me car and even talk to/caress it. My heart breaks for shoes.

I wish I never read about it. If you haven't yet, please don't.

That's the pan pipes. My father told me they originated in Panama when a local plumber was messing around in a loft to clock up time. He lifted a few copper extras, blew into them and played All Shook Up by Elvis. It took off from there. Sadly, when he went on Wogan to tell his story, the family who were paying him for piping the loft deducted the time from his wages and his family died of severe malnutrition soon after. Every time I'm in a lift and hear a Chris de Burgh song on the panpipes I say a prayer.

At least fireworks go out with a bang.
