There are some questions in life that you can’t answer to everyone’s satisfaction, but you should answer to your own. It took me well into adulthood to find my answer to “If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?” Here it is: “If I go into the bathroom and turn on the fan, has the baby stopped crying?”
Sometimes, despite my worst fears or greatest desires, it’s just not about me.
The question of the tree falling always seems to me to disregard the rest of God’s creatures. So what if no human is witness to the sound? I would say that MOST of the time, almost all of the time, it’s not about me.
