This one-hand quartz watch is an entertaining timepiece. The watch's one hand is gold-colored and emanates from a gold center disk, presumably the sun. The one hand is like a ray of sunlight whose movement reflects the passage of time. A full-circle move of the one hand represents the 24 hour day. Hence, the perimeter is crowded, allowing only markers that indicate time in quarter-hour segments. The day begins and ends at the lowest vertical point on the perimeter, the darkest hours. Other than the one hand and the markers, the watch face is a dark blue cover over the watch's internal movements which is like dark matter; unseen but presumed to affect all that is seen. With one-hand indicating time, it is like a sundial. Like the movement of the sun's golden rays is the movement of the watch's gold-colored hand. However, sundials are the most primitive of time-telling machines and this watch, propelled by a quartz movement, is most modern. With a quartz movement, the watch accurately measures time with a monthly accuracy of 15 seconds, considerably more accurate than a mechanical watch. However, as it has no markers indicating minutes, reading the time indicated is a bit of guesswork with 5 minutes leeway. Ironically, the most accurate watch is also the least accurate watch. As reading the time indicated is a bit of guesswork, this watch is unlike mechanical watches which we read without thought. Reading time on this watch requires our attention, awakening us a bit, and each reading is like never before which is the nature of time. Moreover, as we cannot precisely read the time, we know we can never be completely certain  where we are in time.  Maybe we can't be certain of other things as well. If so, best to go slow and not make choices impetuously. As well, we are unlikely in the same time-place as most other people whose watches are more in sync. The preceding is what I see in this watch, making the watch funny. Funny in that the watch allows very different views which are at odds. In looking at things I always find something about them funny. If not, I know I don’t know what I’m looking at....

Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, etc. were once adjectives. They identified someone's superficial self-evident physical appearance, skin color and/or dress. These adjectives didn't imply anything about an individual's nature or attitude. What defined a person was a function of our interactions with them. Today, these adjectives have become nouns. As nouns, they imply various socioeconomic and personality stereotypes that form our perception of the people they identify. The nouns are generalizations and, as all generalizations, are empty of anyone real. However, we perceive others in terms of these generalizations, group identities, not as they are. Individuals also often identify with group identities and behave accordingly, not as independent individuals with their own minds. Moreover, they view themselves as different from other groups. This leads individuals to view the world as "us and them" which often leads to conflicts. Our eyes see differences between individuals as adjectives. Our mind transforms these adjectives into nouns.  ...

Being eccentric, I sometimes wondered whether I would be committed to a mental institution. But as I looked at the people around me, I realized I was already in a mental institution....

I love everyone and feel everyone loves me. If someone doesn't love me now, I feel they'll love me later. Unfortunately, the reason they don't love me or others is that they are mentally ill. Mental illness is very common, at times in the simple form of taking oneself too seriously as an entity apart and separate from others....

Since early childhood I always felt stupid. Many people seemed strange as I didn't know why they did what they did and how they thought about things. I still feel stupid but now realize they are not strange. They are like me. They also don't know why they do what they do or how they think about things....

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool." Unless they are clearly threatening to us, it's difficult to take seriously someone who takes themselves seriously. When someone can't laugh at themselves, it's difficult to take their perspective seriously. When we are one with the light, we take everything lightly. We realize everything is light and when we or others think otherwise it's funny....

It's important to think another world war is coming. If it doesn't come, we'll feel terrific as we'll be in a better position than had there been a war. If it does come, we are in the best position to deal with it proactively because we anticipated it....

The more we look, the less we see. Many of us are more focused on how we look than how we see; how we look to others than how we see others. How we look to others is not how others see us as others are also mostly looking at themselves, not seeing others other than relative to themselves. When we realize others rarely see us, we don’t need to be locked down by how we look and we are free to open our eyes to see everything....
