"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?

If life was a netball game, what would the ball be ?? I dun play baseball ...so dun really able to answer your question :)
i'd say it could be any game played with a ball. one watches children play. or grown up people.....
Guess the game itself with it's actions is it's goal :)...the ball perhaps is the focus :)
so without the focus, there can be no game?
hmmm...ya,just like "love"...as the ball in a game between a couple :)
and the referee?
hope its not me or you or anybody!!!!
That is a good question....hmmmm...the one who watches how we play, are we out of the rules and well, the one who is fair out there :)
does the ball know the rules?
r, i don't sign up to be the referee.....i'd rather design the logo for the team......
Maybe the referee is the ball :) becos he/she represents how the game should be play :)...
so there could be more than one kind of ball in a game...?
