Hey yall, its Chester here,

Now I spent plenty a long years now sitting back thinking bout the simple things in life, like how to mend a fence line, or what to make myself for breakfast, but as I been getting on in my life I been startin to considering some notions of a more philosophical nature. I've always just sorta considered those things to be irrelevant, mainly cuz typically a man oughta just keep his mind upon and tend to his business and get it done, just like his woman oughta keep to hers. That being said though, a few weeks past I went ahead over to the local school library to browse, and I stumbled upon their old dusty books in the philosophy section.

Now, first thing I began to realize as I leaf through pages of this book about a fellar named Socrates, is that there sure seem to be the same sorta people back then as there are now. One thing I noticed was that folk Socrates spoke to seem to have a way with words that makes the words themselves seem to just get in the way, and whatever they're saying seems to make sense for minute, but it don't tend to hold up. Like, he kept discovering that these people with whom he was interlocucating with were plumb unaware of the fact that they ignorant about what they thought they knew all about. Furthermore, these folk were accusing him of weaving a web of words to work a way out in which they was wrong, but tehy actually was wrong, and the pussies end up running away each time to prove it I thought.

And hell, that seems to happen sometimes when I'm talking to people out in the town. It really made me pause and consider myself for a bit. Like, seems to me that I really do know how to mend me a fence post, and hell my neighbors even come to me for help. But, there are things that I think I have an opinion on, but I ain't too sure I could even explain it too well, or not too well enough to be entirely precise like a philosopher would do, using the anal methods.

Like for instance, it seems to me to be normal how a man is typically attracted to a woman, even if she is really a man, but it also seems normal to me how a man could be attracted to another man too. Like, if its a good man with a good character, I could see how he'd be loveable. And therein lies another conundrum. In the first place I was speaking kinda bout a sexual love, and in the other, I sorta put the horse somewhere else, as the saying goes, and talk about some different type of love. But that being said, what really is the difference if you love someone? Youd just make a partnership I'd guess.

And yet, even though I'm straight up confused about there being types of love, there are people out in my town right now that say they know otherwise about what love is, and how it is a simple thing so easy to explain between a man and a woman. It gets me thinking that I oughta just go forth and interlocucate myself upon them. I just aint too sure of myself cuz I ain't often get out into public speaking much.

Anyhow, what it boils down to is, it seems like whether or not I should go out and start figuring peoples opinions out, that is itself a question to be answered by philosophical methods. And damned if I don't know to go about beginning upon my inquiry.

So, thank you in advance for your helpful sharing of wisdom.

Chester, out.
