Paradox story

One day the King decided that he would force all his subjects to tell the truth. A gallows was erected in front of the city gates. A herald announced, "Whoever would enter the city must first answer the truth to a question which will be put to him." Nasrudin was first in line. The captain of the guard asked him, "Where are you going? Tell the truth -- the alternative is death by hanging." "I am going," said Nasrudin, "to be hanged on that gallows." "I don't believe you." "Very well, if I have told a lie, then hang me!" "But that would make it the truth!" "Exactly," said Nasrudin, "your truth."

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

I am recuperating from a bout of sickness. Feeling bad that I missed so much stuff and so not looking forward to missing more training throughout this week. Oh wells, what matters now is the spirit to recover properly, and still have the heart to say no to all the cny goodies.

Got to rest more often. Ciao!

Hebrews 4:12 (ESV)

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword,

piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and

discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
