What is a Lego block?

Is it something to step on?

Is it just a product?

What is a lego block?

 

What is a piece of paper?

Is it something to be graded?

Is it just dead trees?

What is a piece of paper?

 

What is the brain?

Is it something to calculate with?

Is it something where imaginations runs wild?

What exactly is the brain?

 

An organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual and nervous activity.

Is that all it is?

 

Or is it something where Lego blocks are bricks waiting to be connected

making skyscraper 2 feet tall, yet much higher than that?

Something where printing paper is a canvas

where magic that does not exist in the real world

suddenly appears as the pencil touches the blank sheet?

 

What is happiness?

Show me, however you want, but when you're done ask yourself

Is that all it is?
