Go out your front door. Turn right. Walk 100 paces. Tell us what you see.

The Asmo sees traffic angrily flashing lights at Him, a fence and some pavement. He is in the middle of an intersection. :smilenod:

...No, that's literally what's 100 paces to the right of my front door. The middle of the local main road. How do I know that to that degree of precision? Have I paced that distance, perhaps? Or do I count my steps while walking? Or make Siri do it for me? So many questions... So few answers. 8)

We all know that the Universe has no purpose. I asked, What is my purpose?
