Quote by Terry Pratchett
Other people say: hold on, if he's carrying the entire universe in a sack, right, that means he's carrying himself and the sack the sack, because the universe contains everything. Including him. And the sack, of course. Which contains him and the sack already. As it were.To which the reply is: well?
Summary

The person being criticized argues that if someone is carrying the entire universe, they'll be carrying themselves and the sack because they are part of the universe. The response to this criticism is a simple "well?", which implies that there is no definitive answer or conclusion, leaving the interpretation open-ended for the reader. It encourages reflection on the complexity and paradoxical nature of existence.
