Is it a matter of opinion? Who&#8217;s opinion? Why do some people care about truth and others not? What is love? What is hate? All sorts of big questions that ping around in my mind.

I find almost everything interesting because i like to know how things work. There is always a &#8220;why&#8221; or a &#8220;how&#8221; to be asked regarding any event, topic, object or situation you would care to imagine. Why is the sky blue? How does electricity work? Why do we need to pay taxes? Obvious questions with complicated answers, which, frankly, most people do not care about.

Just turn off the TV, turn off the internet, turn off the computer, turn off the phone, turn off the tablet, turn off the light, turn off everything &#8211; except your mind! This seems to be a very scary prospect for some people. Too many demons floating about, too many regrets, too much guilt, to much shame&#8230;which is a shame because daydreaming can be great fun. Just switch off your mind and float downstream and oh what wonderous sights you will see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I daydream a lot. It is a lovely thing to do once you get used to it. I&#8217;ve always daydreamed whenever possible. My school reports all said i spent too much time looking out of the window but i don&#8217;t think it was time wasted, on the contrary. The trick with a good daydream is to try to be aware that you are in fact daydreaming and yet not to the point where you snap out of it. It&#8217;s like surfing the great wave between the conscious and the subconscious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/pifflepyramid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rn-artwork-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-base-2-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-73128380 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a0d91a25 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Nature Photography is COOL (or S!CK, or whatever)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3a88641f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/pifflepyramid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rn-artwork-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: orange; padding: 0px 2px 2px 0px; font-size: 50px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1;  text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #aaa; float: left; text-decoration: none;\">A<\/span>nd i don&#8217;t do enough of it anymore.
