“ECCENTRIC?”

Olga (an extremely uncomfortably amazingly beautiful woman who works here in some management capacity or other) says to me this morning ‘You are eccentric. That is the right word, yes?”

I laughed. “It’s much better than being called weird”. (much laughter.)

But then I thought I would spin it “You know, for a philosopher it is like advertising. it’s not like you can put a sign on the shop that says ‘shoes’, or wear a card on my head that says philosopher. So if you act eccentric it’s just advertising. People know you’re a philosopher that way. ” (more laughter).

I like making the people here laugh. I like making everyone laugh.

But on a more serious note, and in all honesty, I have found that with increased UNDERSTANDING of the world of man, I am more appreciative of my fellow man, and more joyous in interacting with him….
