Ten minutes of thoughts:
What attacks a banana to make it brown? Is it just decay? Dehydration? Fungus? Mold? Bacteria? I’m sure the internet will provide an answer.
…
It hasn’t but it has yielded some wonderful tangents: a wiki on the brown banana frog, and some inspiration website. The inspiration website asks us “...isn't it true that what unites us as souls is stronger than what separates us?” I guess it’s true if you want it to be true. But, then again, who wouldn’t want it to be true? As such, it’s not true if you want it to be true. Instead it is true if you can believe it is true. Let’s take apart the quote a little bit. First, let’s rephrase it so it doesn’t chose sides. Rather than “Isn’t it true,” let’s just simply ask “Is it true.”
“Is it true that what unites us as souls is stronger than what separates us?”
Next, I’m going to assume that the collective “us” is mankind. Though, it would be more funny if the quote was only talking about the souls of south paws or banana tree frog owners.
“Is it true that what unites mankind as souls is stronger than what separates mankind?”
Aah, ten minutes are up…maybe I’ll get back to this later.

About Me
- LJ
- Even to those without Marxist sympathies, LJ was a dashing, charismatic figure: the asthmatic son of an aristocratic Argentine family whose sympathy for the world's oppressed turned him into a socialist revolutionary, the valued comrade-in-arms of Cuba's Fidel Castro and a leader of guerilla warfare in Latin America and Africa.
