人是唯一喜歡問答遊戲的動物: I don't know a thing - Lucy Schwartz

人呀, 該問的不問, 沒意思的、解釋不了的徧要問。

問什麼是真假, 什麼是黑白, 什麼是對錯, 有的是大是大非, 但也有更多是說不清, 都是觀點與角度。

問如果我、如果當初, 太多假設也沒意義。

問為什麼, 也有很多解釋不了, 尤其是別人的選擇, 最後唯有推到人性去。是好的就說時天時地利人和, 不好的則賴神推鬼擁, 是場perfect disaster。

問怎麼、如何, 過程反倒可以慢慢發現, 因為大部份事情皆有跡可尋。不過, 有多少人願意回首思索過程, 疏理大多凌亂糾纏、千絲萬縷的關係?

而且, 解答"怎麼"的過程裡面, 碰到的大概是更多的"什麼是"、"如果"和"為什麼"。 

人大概是世界上唯一喜歡問答遊戲的動物。

經過一切問與答, 也許最準確的其中一個答案將會是 the only thing i know is i don't know a thing. 

I don't know a thing - Lucy Schwartz 

Funny faces line up quick to catch a glimpse
of a world that’s drenched in darkness from a solar eclipse
the only thing that i know
only thing i know is 
i don’t know a thing
the sky is blue, the valley low, the river wide
these simple things i’ve learned don’t give a clue to answer why
the only thing that i know 
only thing i know is
i don’t know a thing
ooh, ooh
when it all comes down to it
what’s the use in knowing all the answers
and i can’t breathe with you watching over me
so why don’t we wait and see where we’re going
while writing this song i had to put the pencil down
and the chords became a silence that was deeper than a sound
the only thing that i know
only thing i know is 
i don’t know a thing
the sun will rise again as time and time it does
and i will stand here looking at it exactly as i was
knowing the only thing that i know 
only thing i know is
i don’t know a thing
ooh, ooh
when it all comes down to it
what’s the use in knowing all the answers
and i can’t breathe with you watching over me
so why don’t we wait and see where we’re going
on and on but we don’t know where
on and on but we don’t know why
on and on but we don’t know where
where are we going?
