A Man of Wonders

I think I wonder too much! I don't like to say I think because thinking usually gets you somewhere and I usually go nowhere with it. So, I like to call it wondering because that's what I usually do is wonder. I guess if I were to be placed in the woods somewhere foreign I probably wouldn't be able to make it out alive. You can pretty much symbolically relate my thought processes to these "woods." The reason I would get lost in the woods is that I would probably end up wondering aimlessly in the woods instead of thinking my way through the woods. Do you ever wonder what people are thinking about?
Something I have always wondered about is the meaning of the words of material items. This is crazy and your probably thinking I've got way too much time on my hands, but that's pretty much what I do in class. The only reason I go to class is to turn in homework. Anyways, have you ever wondered why we associate meanings with certain items or objects. What if a pen wasn't actually a writing utensil like we know it as? What if that object itself was called something else like a book? The reason these thoughts came up were because of Thermodynamics. I started to think about the reasoning behind numbers like the boiling point and freezing point and why they are those certain numbers. It's crazy to think that these numbers are set numbers, but that's the way it has always been. None different! What if some mathematician or scientist told us that the freezing point of water was actually like 15 degrees fahrenheit instead of 32. The meaning of numbers is really interesting because we associate everything with them; speed, temperature, enthalpy, entropy, heat, work, etc. It's the same business with words. Anyways, that was my long-time wondering. I have to go home now because the library is closing. :(
If you can answer this, please help! HaHa
