THE EGG & THE ROCK PROBLEM CONTINUED

For those having difficulty in grasping the 'essence' of this 'predicament' which some might feel in the actual human condition, REMEMBER a description(of anything or any event or occurrence) is NOT an explanation. We often take a mere description of things and attempt to turn it into an explanation,even a complex theory,rather than simply sensing the event or situation. The tendency to 'intellectualize' is a common one for many people who confront such descriptions, like the 'egg' and the 'rock' and this is evident in attempts to add more to the situation than is needed or is there. These 'problems' or 'descriptions' tell more about the people who react to them in various ways or comment on them,from those who theorize and conjecture to those who reject those notions. The workings of the mind or the mental functions and faculties come into focus and argumentative persons always try to 'get-one-up' on the affair and bring up extraneous itmes to confuse, irritate, and befuddle. RIGID MENTAL STANCES & POSTURES are adopted by many in this frame of mind. TThe problem or description of the 'egg' & 'rock' evokes interesting reactions from people.
