"Whatever" (by Joe DiMino)

I have often thought:
A wise-man knows
With reservation;
And a stupid man
Simply knows…

One may agree that
Whatever goes up
Must come down;
And yet, a thoughtful person
On the opposite side of the earth
Could rightfully state that,
Whatever goes down
Must go up;
While another, a distance Off-In-Space, 
Having a different perspective
May observe that, whatever goes out
Must come in;

So to solve the riddle
I asked my teenage class
Who to little surprise
Simply replied in unison:

Whatever....
