How many activities involve balls? We play various games such as: volleyball, soccer, tennis, bowling, lacrosse, marbles, dodge-ball, hand-ball, etc.. And we have fun with these spherical objects, right? At a club, there’s a disco-ball that lights up the room and projects fun and random shapes of light across the floor. When someone goes out, we tell them to “have a ball.” Meaning, to have a good time and enjoy yourself. Rappers say: “I’m balling yo!” and “that’s dude is balling!” Meaning, “I’m awesome” and “that person is very wealthy and is having a great time.” We say “let’s roll.” Meaning, let’s go! The earth is a ball. Our eyes see little balls called photons which our brains interpret as images — what we see. We are made up of balls, molecules. Maybe everything is a ball. Balls are fun because they are round and they roll, they move. They are smooth and flow. Squares, on the other hand, don’t roll around. They like to stay fixed and motionless. Maybe we can think in balls and squares as well. If we think in terms of spheres, maybe our thoughts will have curves and they can roll and flow just as the basketball does — not attached to anything in particular and always moving. Maybe we can think in squares as well — cementing our thoughts and placing them into little storage boxes in our minds — never freeing them to move and grow and mostly importantly, to have fun. Or perhaps neither balls or squares really exist and instead, everything is a wave. And when you think, you’re waving at me. When you act, you’re waving at the universe. And everything is waving right back at you. Maybe that’s all anyone or anything is ever, fundamentally, doing — waving.

Wow. This was the biggest load of dung I’ve ever read. Couple of things…
1. Proofread for gods sake. It was a struggle to get through this article as it is, to have typos as well…yikes.
2. You’re not Tony Robins and you don’t make any sense. Maybe balls and squares? What?
3. If you keep writing shit like this, NO ONE is going to be waving back at you.
This is the worst explanation of a philisophical idea I’ve ever read. Run your article through spell check before posting.
Your transition from ballin yo to waves was seamless.
Were you on acid when you wrote this?
Secondly, give credit where credit is do and mention that this idea is from string theory. Maybe you saw I Heart Huckabess one too many times.
Hey Guys,
Thanks for your comments, I truly appreciate them. Any time my writing elicits such a passionate response, it puts a smile on my face.
For the commenter “Seriously,” I never saw the movie “I Heart Huckabess,” but I hear that it’s good. What is it about? Maybe I’ll watch it soon.
Thanks and keep the comments rollin’:)
Dave, I get it!
I do.
