According to They Might Be Giants… the sun is a mass of incandescent gas… a giant nuclear furnace. Ernest Hemingway told us ‘the sun also rises’. Yet, this is not the case… it’s a common misconception. The sun never moves. It’s kind of like me during one day cricket: a stationary ball of anger, rage and heat. Living in a hot climate I have often been stung by it’s heat. Yet, during my 30+ years I have never seen the sun rise. It remains a mysterious hot ball of non-moving fury. In ‘reality’ our language makes fun of us… it betrays us and makes us believe what is not true. If the sun were to rise… by now, surely, it would have hit the roof off space. Why am I mentioning this? Often in life we accept taken for granted assumptions as though they cannot be questioned. They can. As I once heard it said… the unquestioned assumption is usually the one that holds the key to solving problems… think about that… it may just unfreeze your brain.
