" w h a t ' s t h e p o i n t ? " / the N . S . F . A . Q .
Q : Is the point subjective?
- - - making a point - - -
A : Yes, if you see a point that's the point.
If you dont, there is none, at least not to you.
If you find meaning in something, it has a meaning to you.
That does not mean it means anything to me or anyone else, whether well meant or not.
Q : Is the point nonobjective?
- - - point in case - - -
A : Yes, the point is all yours!
Something you love might be something I hate and vice versa.
It's been said many times before but it always rings true.
Art is in the eye { / mind } of the beholder.
Q : Does a point have to be original?
- - - point well taken - - -
A : No. Does a swift kick in the arse become any less painful
because you were just kicked there a minute ago?
Q : Is the point always this elusive?
- - - another point on making the point - - -
A : No. Sometimes the point is very obvoius and sometimes it's not.
This does not mean that the instant point is any better,
often I personally find this to be quite the opposite.
Q : Does there always have to be a point?
- - - dont point that thing at me - - -
A : No, not at all. Very often making a point will come in the way of other things like for instance, lying.
You and you alone, decide if you want / need / see a point or rather go pointless.
- focal point / turning point / moot point -
- - - a point on the web, lost in code, like a tear in the rain... - - -
