Couldn't agree more with The Whitestme
Cause Humpty like logic is slippery and free.
Yet when whole Humpty was perfect
In shape and nutrition,
I think that he fell of his very own volition.
He probably got tired of the question
What came first the chicken or the egg?
So he said - what the heck, let me fall and "break a leg".
Unfortunately for Humpty - with his unusual shape and all,
He had no legs and was more like a ball.
So when he rolled off of his precarious perch
He shattered and splattered and now rolls with a lurch.
For all the kings soldiers and all the kings men
Didn't do a great job putting Humpty back together again.
So the moral of this story is mankind has no clue,
And I toss your question back to you.

Logic is a human invention, made up by their own capabilities to explain things that go beyond it. They forget sometimes how puny their reasoning is. I don't think man has any clue whatsoever, they just try to explain their surroundings and things that happen. From their own very impaired perspective. Like watching sound waves. The classic case of Humpty Dumpty suggests it as well, mankind does not have a clue. Things are there, we see them for what we CAN see in them and things happen and they pass on and we still don't have a clue; that's why we wanna fix Humpty; it's a metafor. We might not understand everything but we want to control them anyway. But we can't.

Well, logic IS reason, and mankind does have a few clues, but one of the ones we cannot do is put an egg back in its shell. For one thing, the contents are liquid, and you can't let them sit out on some surface while you are painstakingly re-assembling all the little bitty pieces of an egg shell (all but one little flap on the top, I guess), then pour the contents back into the shell and expect it to be the same. The membrane inside the shell has been torn, for one thing, and the yolk and white exposed to the air, and no, you can't do it.
But you knew that. So what was the point of this question?

Look, Humpty is breakfast. The only "fixing" that can logically be done to him is as an omelet or sunny side up. The clue comes in when you can reason your way to a viable solution, and the only thing viable about our cracked friend is his eatability. So you make the toast and I'll squeeze the OJ. And hurry, because we don't want to take all morning at this.

Mankind as a whole has too many flaws
And Humpty, I fear, may be a lost cause
Of logic and reason, what of it I pray?
For a question that reads as a dreadful cliche
Your point here escapes me, suffice it to say
On to the next question, God bless, and good day

no because he is not stable.... and because of his insecurity and his lack of common sense it would be no use in mending Humpty. Don't fight the inevitable... its his fate ...hes an egg.....
