Thinking

          Cybo is a softly spoken, polite person, who would rather move on than offend someone. Lots of nasty things are said about retiring characters like Cybo, but then, Western culture prides itself on being aggressive and dominant. Cybo says, don’t get angry, get up and go.

          Cybo is a very energy conscious. He believes energy doesn’t have to be released for the sake of it, it is better to have a good reason to expend energy. He believes the entire universe, that includes everything, is actually the accumulation of tiny waves of energy. That’s it folks, tiny little pulses accumulating into giant-mega-enormous-meta really huge waves of energy. An atomic bomb, doesn’t even rate as a cosmic fart.

          Padoke was in a mood, no problems Cybo, totally with you there. Tell me Cybo, what is an idea and how can and idea cause so much grief on this planet?

          Cybo smiled at Padoke and didn’t get put off by his smarty pants tone. He said Padoke, it has taken me a long time to be able to grasp that a rock and a bee are both basically the accumulation of tiny pulses of energy. I am extremely grateful for this insight. I do not have the intellectual ability to connect matter and the transmission of light and sound or any other form of energy with what an idea is. I can understand how an idea might be transmitted, sorry, that’s it.

          Padoke slunk in shame, because he knew he wasn’t participating in the discussion in good faith, but carrying on like some sort of ego inflated devil’s advocate.
