It is a strange world that we are living in. What is even stranger is human behavior. I mean, really, people do the silliest, most absurd things; and the best part is that we know it is stupid, but we do it anyway.

Take this for example: you would have probably heard this line before from a movie or a TV series, or you might have even uttered it yourself: "I don't care if you don't listen, but..."

That, my friends, is an oxymoron, more to the moron side. You have already acknowledged that the listener is not, well, listening; but you are going to say what you want to say anyway.

So tell me, do you think that it will be a great idea if we go jump off an airplane at an altitude of twenty thousand feet above sea level with nothing but a huge piece of canvas to break our fall? Well, millions would love to do that, the rest have already done it. It is called parachuting.

We go and watch horror films to scare ourselves silly; we experiment and invent weapons of mass destruction while promoting peace on all mankind; we yell and curse at inanimate objects and we like to look at the sky and ask for a sign, then walk away not expecting one at all.

It would be really cool, though, if one day a huge billboard drops out of the sky with words printed on it: "Well, you DID ask for a sign," quoth God.

Then we will slap ourselves and laugh ourselves silly while some will run naked on the streets declaring that the end has come upon us.

God, give us a sign.
