"the emperor's new clothes" by hans christian andersen
this fairy tale has been a companion to me as i have traveled through my life.
briefly, it is about an emperor who was deceived by two tailors who said they were making a set of clothing out of a "dream" fabric. in reality, they used no fabric at all. to make their scam complete, they announced that only those who were wise enough would be able to see the beautiful clothing. and so, no one, not even the emperor, admitted to being unable to see it.
wearing his new "clothing", the emperor paraded through his kingdom. no one questioned his appearance; no one wished to appear less than wise.
until a small child asked, "why is the emperor not wearing any clothes?"
so it is that i ask, if i question rather than believe i am wise, what will i see?

I prefer my curved line!!!!
Dun you think ....being a diagonal line....seems to be much like curves that is seen in the natural ??
is a diagonal line a line in which we do not notice the curves? is that what you are asking?
Yes :)...the continuing diagonal lines seems to be the curves that it see as unnatural ....right??
so a line is a line is a line............within the curve is the straight line and the straight line has the tendency to curve.......
so we name it what we see at the time?
