A hole in the ground (with more context)

Yesterday’s question was “What’s the value of seeing a hole in the ground?”

Some of the answers were:

  • The amount of money saved by not falling into the hole and breaking your leg. ????
  • “What’s the sound of one hand ????️ clapping?”
    [ Enlightenment by Van Morrison —first time I heard it and the lyrics are for another mail (Thanks, Ryan!) ]
  • Not accidentally falling into it?
  • None. It’s a hole in the ground.
  • If it’s an oil well, it might have some value attached to it.
  • It depends. What kind of hole is it?

Without context, you can’t know if it’s a small hole or a big hole.

My next question (I promise we’re going somewhere here) is:

What if you do want to “fall” into that hole?

Would there be any value in seeing such a hole in the ground?

Yet, you can’t modify it, you can explore but can’t do things to it, you can’t “fix” it.
