Ironically, and in direct relation to my last blog, this thought was brought on by the class I hate most this semester. In my philosophy class, my teacher said that something was contingent on something else, and then explained what contingency is. I guess something that is contingent exists only due to certain circumstances that allowed that thing to exist. So we're all contingent because our parents all did it and made us. And so much stuff is contingent on something else. Computers are contingent on the fact that electricity was made, and electricity is contingent on Benjamin Franklin. I just thought it was crazy how such a bland sounding word could be pretty and mind blowing, for me at least.
...please keep in mind I realize how weird this post is.
