But in most cases, there can be a greater extent of an answer to even the most basic of questions...
"Why did the chicken cross the road" for example.
We really don't know this chicken's story...He may be a successful businessman, he could be a lawyer, he could be the cook at your local taco bell. For what reason did he cross this road? Was it a busy road? Could it have been a highway?
Was he afraid to cross, or did he cross with confidence? Did he carry anything with him?
How did he plan on crossing? By foot? Was his true intent to attempt to fly over? Or possibly roll as if he were a secret agent?
Was the chicken young or old? What was his story? What stories did he have to tell?
In the end. We search the details and find the true reason.
He was searching for someone, someone that he knew well. Someone who no longer inhabits this world. Someone who was the entire reason he wanted to get to...
The other side.
Nice. A good and classic question about the chicken. Another is; what came first, the chicken or the egg? I like to think about these questions and come up with complex (sometimes humorous) answers. Thanks for the laugh.
