Quote of the Day: Reality A and Reality B

"Let's call the world we actually have now Reality A and the world that we might have had if 9/11 had never happened Reality B. Then we can't help but notice that the world of Reality B appears to be realer and more rational than the world of Reality A. To put it in different terms, we are living a world that has an even lower level of reality than the unreal world. What can we possibly call this if not 'chaos'?....

"....Perhaps the solution begins from softly accepting chaos not as something that 'should not be there,' to be rejected fundamentally in principle, but as something that 'is there in actual fact.'"
--Haruki Murakami

The rest of this is here. An article that may provoke head rattles for writers and for readers of Murakami's novels.
