Experience

I prefer watching the animals on television

A mind says, to watching them live in the zoo

Because animals in the zoo smell really bad.

 

 

You are analogizing a whole experience

With a copy of its part, says other mind.

 

 

Television animals do not smell bad

But are animals that please the eye

Mind explains, minus the real mind.

 

 

But are they cuddly, surrogate children?

Asks the scintillating mind, raising a stink.

 

 

You feel it sounds woolly but mind cares.

Mind loves animals, not their body smells.

Seeing is not smelling, not as off-putting

An experience, as the whole of experience.

 

 

But a mere copy? How can any one be in love?

With a mere copy?  Says the scintillating mind.

 

 

Seeing a copy is experience too, says mind.

 

 

Agreed it is an experience but the analogy?

Why analogizing a whole with a mere part?

This is not even analogizing whole with part

But a whole with a copy of a part, higher mind.

 

And why not? Mind asks but mind is quiet.
