Thoughts of the day
Alice in Wonderland is a tale of literary nonsense. As Alice falls down the rabbit hole, she enters a world of mad creatures, running around and doing things for absolutely no reason at all.
Lewis Carroll wrote this in 1865, yet it sounds uncannily familiar.
In the follow up novel, Through The Looking Glass, Alice does not fall through a rabbit hole, but through the mirror. She encounters the Red Queen again. After much running, they discover they both still are in the same spot:
“My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that.”
Sometimes, we need to encounter someone else's madness to recognise our own.
