Varied Knowledge (2)
by Hideo Yokokawa
When I was a student, a friend of
mine once said to me.
"A coincidence is an intersection point
of the straight lines called physical
necessity."
I said to him.
"It is very interesting. Who said it?"
He said.
"Who said it! It's me that said it."
At that time, I had just finished reading a book
regarding the history of science and philosophy,
and I proudly talked him about the the contents;
the accumulation of analyses and the
colligations
developed today's physical science and the
humanities.
Then, he said to me.
"You read many books.
I read, but not so many.
I think for myself in my way."
It was almost half a century ago.
I wonder where and what he is doing now?
