Grassy Diary - Part 1

Ideas are like seeds. 

They grow into magnificent trees and beautiful flowers, but not all seeds survive the journey. Seeds need water, soil, and dirt. sunlight, and a sky to grow. And their limit? The sky. 

I woke up. 

This energizing feeling is definitely water! Water mixed with mossy moss. So comfortable! I just want to sleep a bit more, and I need to stretch myself. Good night. 

What is so bright?

Is that what they call sunshine? Ahhh. It is too bright for me. Why can't I just sleep in a little more. And the moss is drying up around me. I am thirsty. I want to reach a bit deeper to taste water. Wish me luck!

Sunshine is so sweet!

I can't get enough of it. It is comforting and inviting. Maybe I can touch it. It seems a bit high in the sky though. Whatever, I will touch it and find out how high it is. My friends all want to touch it too! But I will be the first.

I am so cold!

I am freezing. The white thing is making me feel cold. It scares me. Will everything become monotone and will I freeze to death? Sunshine tastes  too sweet. I can't stand it. Some of my friends are taller than me. Errh! So annoying. I was here first.

Take me closer!

I am about to fall over! But I have to catch that last ray of sunshine. I need to grow higher and higher and higher until I reach the sun. Everyone around me is growing too. It is a race of determination. I can do this!

Ahhhh. Heeeelp. 

The moss is too dry. I can't get enough water. I am starving! My body is too heavy to lift up right. And people are leaning on top of me! It is suffocating. Oh no! Did some of my friend give up? They are starting to lose their color.

What is this world!

It gives me water. Take it away from me. Now it is trying to drown me! This is not fair. I am growing taller and taller, but water is diluting my nutrients. My top is not green enough. It seems like the sun is still far away. I wonder how long it will take me to touch it. This world is getting unbearable. I feel tired already. It seems like some of my friends can't keep up. Should I leave them behind?

I don't have enough room!

People always block my sunshine. I have to grow taller to reach it, but people are always in the way. Why is this happening! Can't they move somewhere else?

Does Absolute Truth Exist? - Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of Truth

Image
What is the truth?  We all live life searching for the truth. Some claim they have found it; some claim it does not exist. What is truth? My English teacher asked the question in class, and I applied Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle to truth.  Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle The Uncertainty Principle states that it is not possible to measure both the location and momentum of a subatomic particle. Any attempts to measure its position will alter its actual position, making the measurement useless.  Picture by Christiane Wilke . The Real Life Metaphor We cannot see the truth behind a person, or even ourselves, because when we look at a person, their truths change. When we observe ourselves, our truths change. Let's take the example of describing oneself. In front of friends, one may think one is funny, or fun to be around. In front of judging figures, such as children or parents, one may try to be more serious to fit the model the society recommends. In utt

Alone and Lonely: The Purpose Seeking and Social Gene

Image
I am alone.  I am in the middle of a forest; I am the only human in a hundred mile radius.  I am at home; I am the only living being in my house/apartment other than bacteria and other microscopic organisms.  I am in my bedroom; I am the only person in my bedroom. Picture by Bruce Aldridge .  I am lonely.  I feel a void in my heart; a cold void that makes me curl up in my blanket.  I feel a subtle longing in my heart; I type in front of my computer and look out into the night.  I feel bored; I look at myself not knowing what I should do next.  I am not fully immersed.  Sometimes I lose track of time, working on the immediate task, but other times I lose focus, thinking about my sub-optimal productivity.  Sometimes I am completely alone, running, yet I do not feel lonely.  Sometimes I am surrounded by people, yet I feel lonely.  Purpose.  Many people talk about purpose. What is the purpose of life? What is my purpose in this world? Am I an extra nut or bo

Upside Down Snow Globe - Inevitable War

Image
Darker spark.  Such irony. Yet true.  I started this blog from one single metaphor, a spark, and that is the upside down snow globe metaphor : life without action is boring, but we can make it exciting by taking initiative and turning life upside down, much like how we turn a snow globe upside down.  Conflict.  The world is relative. Success is sweetest for those who fail. Money is sweetest for those who do not have enough. Romance is sweetest for those who do not have romance... Without stress, there would be no relaxation. Without struggle, there would be no achievement. Without war, there would be no peace Art from Fate/Stay Unlimited Blade Works Wait. What? Can there be peace without war? Humans always fought each other for one thing or another, verbally or physically. It is only natural to fight when we all are unique and have differing opinions. Peace is learning to live in harmony despite differences and friction.  The Upside Down Snow Globe A snow glo
