Missing Years:

When I was suffering from the fever last month, I went to the doctor for some meds. Of course the doctor wanted to check a few things out, and I had to have an x-ray. The radiographer asked me for a few details, including my age… to which I responded: “18 years old!” After about a second my brain caught up with me and I had to correct myself… “err.. m.. no wait… I mean 22 years old!” I’m still trying to figure out where those 4 years went… Must have been the fever… yeah that’s it *wink*

The life of man is the life of a moving being, and it would not be sufficient for him to develop body alone. A plant is rooted: it stays in one place and cannot move. It would be very surprising, therefore, to discover that a plant had a mind; or at least a mind in any sense which we could comprehend. If a plant could foresee or project consequences, the faculty would be useless to it. What advantage would it be for the plant to think: ‘Here is someone coming. In a minute he will tread on me, and I shall be dead underfoot’? The plant would still be unable to move out of the way. All moving beings, however, can foresee and reckon up the direction in which to move; and this fact makes it necessary to postulate that they have minds or souls. by gambling
