WTF does this mean?

Even the famous and critically acclaimed Jeen-Yuhs, Kanye West, had to ask that question to Basketball icon and legend Kobe Bryant (RIP) in a commercial.

If you aren't familiar with the commercial, here is the transcribed conversation:

Kanye: How much more do you want from me?

Kobe: More!

Kanye: How much more successful do you want me to be?

Kobe: More successful!

Kanye: How many records can my records break?

Kobe: More records!

Kanye: But...but I'm the best!

Kobe: But are you a different animal and the same beast?

Kanye: WTF? Does that mean Kobe Bryant?

Kobe: You are welcome.

Kanye: WTF is he talking about!

I bet you felt like Kanye after reading the conversation.

You may try to make sense of it with the usual: What Kobe meant…blah blah blah.

The thing is, we are stuck in a circus of always trying to find the meaning of something.

Oh, don't even get started with abstract art.

Have you ever seen artwork and asked yourself WTF does this even mean?

Then again, after a while, you try to wrap your brain around details and give interpretations that never existed in the minds of the painters/expressionists.

That my friend is a "WTF does this mean" moment.

Ever watched a movie for the first time and had your mind scampering for the meaning?

You think…perhaps, I must have missed a detail, or just slow?

Moments after searching the internet for reviews or sharing thoughts with friends, your mind begins to connect dots.

Whew!

Ever had conversations with someone and felt entirely lost at the end simply because you heard, but nothing was communicated?

That right there was a "WTF does this mean" moment.

As tasking as such brain exercises are, humanity always tries to make sense of situations or events.

Humans are naturally curious, an enviable feat that has led us to many discoveries.

However, one begins to ponder!

Is there an end to the constant questioning by the human mind?

Is there ever a time when the mind says, I don't give a f**k—no need to understand. Just live and let live.

I believe that the world is pushing the limits of understanding to the point where the mind is worn out, and the only logical interpretation is "WTF does this mean."

And if you do manage to ask, "what does this mean? You are made to seem odd, shallow, and lacking a newly found understanding in circulation.

Yes, you didn't get the memo!

– Still, struggling to catch up?

Humanity is on the path to a place where common sense is shockingly distant but feeling and imagination rule.

A place where we hold diverse opinions about a subject with no common grounds for the "truth."

Be it far from us that we fail to imagine, even without the basics. Oh! Come on! It's 2022. Catch up!

We are in a phase where explaining a question's answer is even more complicated than the answer.

And did you subconsciously ask, "what exactly is the truth"? I co-ask.

Google defines the truth as "that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality."

So what is fact or reality? Isn't that subjective as well?

I mean, we can all agree.

During the 2021 US presidential election, we weren't sure which information to classify as fact or fake news.

Who decides what fact or truth is?

A group of people could put together numbers verified by like-minded individuals–that becomes fact.

However, does it equal the truth?

Can it be said that life would be much easier if we gave up finding the meaning of things? Wouldn't that be a life worth living?

Ignorance has always been bliss!

Oh no! Don't even go questioning the meaning of life as well.

You know you open up a black hole of endless rhetorics when you start questioning everything. That's one heck of an eternal headache, isn't it?

Can we have a common understanding? Can we at least meet halfway? Where do we draw the line for a generally accepted fact or truth?

I think we can all agree that the human paradox kicked in at some point in reading this piece, trying to figure out the end-point of my yakety-yak.

WTF is he trying to say? WTF does this mean?

Trust me; I have no idea.

That there is the curse and blessing of humanity.
