Just me and my best bud (a stuffed animal Bulldog I've named Rupert R Ruffington) sharing a tender moment!

What is nonsense?

Let's break it down.  It's a word with old French origins. You could call it a feeling not able to articulate with words or concrete existence. Other interpretations I like equivocate it to being not conscious inwardly of one's one state or condition.  But my favorite is this:  Nonsense is the obsession with small, self-proclaimed importance amid (and ignorant of) the complex world around us.  Nonsense is the art of walking sideways towards the truth.  

An example - here's a video of Rupert R Ruffington (the dog above)  meeting another furry friend (Señor Pugglesworth - a stuffed pug)  You can buy your own plush pets here!
