A common misconception. Yes, you can be "Over There" (they even made a song about it) but are you really "there." Because according to you, you're "here." The problem is when you're neither here nor there. But you are somewhere... unless you're somewhere else, but that's getting ahead of ourselves.Gulfbreeze wrote:But what if you are "over there"?

True, but the question that begs to be asked is "When are you there vs when are you here? and When is there not here and here not there or here is here not there but elsewhere?"rsgeist wrote:No matter where you go, there you are.

Ok, let me straighten out the whole here/there thing:
Here is here when you're here
There is there when you're here
Here is there when you're there
There is here when you're there
Here is never there when you're here
There is never here when you're here
Here is never here when you're there
There is never there when you're there

Here is here when you're here
There is there when you're here
Here is there when you're there
There is here when you're there
Here is never there when you're here
There is never here when you're here
Here is never here when you're there
There is never there when you're there
