Ein Zitat aus einem meiner Lieblingsbücher, Can Man Live Without God (S. 53f) vom Philosophen Ravi Zacharias:
The story was of a roving reporter conducting a survey from country to country. In America, the first stop, he asked a person on the street, ‘What is your opinion on the shortage of meat in the world?’ The bemused Americanreplied, ‘What is shortage?’
Continuing in his single-minded survey, his next stop was in a deprived nation weighed down by the pain of famine. The reporter inquired, ‘What is your opinion on the shortage of meat in the world?’ and the famished individual responded, ‘What is meat?’
His third location was a country strangled by a dictatorial regime, and there the reporter asked a person standing in a long line for food, ‘What is your opinion on the shortage of meat in the world?’ Having been stripped of all individuality, the puzzled person intoned, ‘What is opinion?’
Finally, the frustrated reporter ended up in the Middle East and quizzed a harried individual on his way to work, ‘What is your opinion on the shortage of meat in the world?’ Wildly gesturing, the Middle Easterner countered, ‘What is, what is?’
