One day, I was going on memebase and I stumbled upon a certain poster. At the start of it, it had a cat watching Nyan Cat. After that, it had a cat watching the cat watching Nyan Cat on YouTube. Then in had cat watches cat watching cat watching Nyan Cat, cat watches cat watching cat watching cat watching Nyan cat etc. At the end, it had the word Catception. About a week later, I pondered during class. What is an inception? Later I found out that it was a beginning, start or commencement. Then I thought, what is a matrix? I looked it up and it says the place or point something originates from. So I was like, "O.K… this IS Sparta." So recently, I decided to look up teleport. It says that it means "to move a person or object using telekinesis. This IS Sparta I thought. I was using dictionary.com so I saw this: "A person who knows the definition of Matrix may know (however many words) click here to find out how many words you know!" at this point, I realized that this WAS Sparta. Then I clicked on it and out popped a little quiz. They call it word dynamo and by guessing the definitions of ten words, they estimate how many words you know and what level you're at. Your quiz depends on your grade. Then I realized. I didn't know what Sparta meant. Now I'm going to look it up. This is what it says: "an ancient city in S Greece: the capital of Laconia and the chief city of the Peloponnesus, at one time the dominant city of Greece: famous for strict discipline and training of soldiers."
Now I'm thinking, this can't be all the meaning to Sparta! It's accumulated so much over the years that it has to have much more meaning. This means that we may never know what "Sparta" truly is.

I don't understand, what does Sparta have to do with anything? I mean, I knew Sparta was an ancient Greek city, but couldn't you just look up the history of it? I don't see where you're going with this...
