Whole lotta holes

Let me share with you, a revelation. it came to me as I attempted to classify the human race.. err, well not really, thats something Agent Smith does. It came to me as I sat with a beer bottle in my hand and looked into it through the hole at the top and smiled the reflection of my eye. I realized the 'truth'. It was a rare moment of clarity. One which we experience very very seldom in our lifetimes; indeed some people never experiene it at all. I realised that the world is all about 'holes'.

Holes are everywhere. It is holes that bring us into existence in the first place. It is through holes that we receive our first nourishment. Through holes, the first rays of light enter our eyes. In life, we come across holes of all kinds, of all shapes and sizes: holes for plugging in sockets, holes for oil-drilling, holes in the golf course, holes in alphabets, holes in the ozone layer, holes in donuts, holes in mints, some people even claim to have a
hole in their soul.. holes holes everywhere. Some guy like me probably realised this long long ago and came up with a wonderful abuse-word, that contained the word 'hole' in it. What a great tribute! Soon after, a group of punk-hippies in India thought it would be a good idea to dress up in orange clothes and call themselved 'holy' men with the noble mission of creating holes in people's pockets. You'd have thought we had enough holes on the planet already, but some people didn't think so and decided to discover holes in outer space too. Since they couldn't really see them, they called them 'Black Holes'. All this while people are learning about newer holes everyday, they continue to eat and excrete through holes. Then they grow up and discover new holes. And the 'whole' cycle starts all over again.

Holes are definitely omnipresent.. n though the usual perception is that.. for anything that 'exists' physically there is something that doesnt 'exist' and these non existant things are all holes. i rather like to think that initially only holes existed and all these physical things we consider as 'existing' are just holes that ceased to exist. wat dya say to that
