On Ruben Schade's blog I came across his text titled What's the point? and this definitely interested me. Because I often ask this question ... mostly in my head. People tend to ask this question rhethorically as a way of saying that they do not see a point in doing something. That happens to me too, I admit. I mean, some people in our village going out with a gun and for one afternoon blasting lead bullets into the olive groves aka "hunting"... what's the point?

But I disgress. I do ask myself sometimes "what then, is the point of this?" in a positive way sometimes. Actually those can be some very productive moments. Asking myself what really is the reason why I do something. Or even asking myself what (I think) is really the reason why somebody else does whatever they do.

In Ruben's case, it lead to an interesting blog post about some of the things that interest him, and what is behind it. What a good question, really.
