Some days, you're the fisherman. Some days, you're the fish.
The concept of destiny never ceases to amaze me. It boggles my mind to think that somewhere, right now, something is probably being manufactured or grown or produced that is destined to be bought or consumed somehow by me.
Take this poor guy for example. I wonder if, as he was suddenly fishnapped from his home in the turbulent seas, he for one moment thought that he would end up on my plate. Some parts of him to be eaten. Others to be photographed and blogged about. Hmm. I somehow think not. But that's essentially what has happened here. It seems to me that the more you analyse life at its most basic level, the more you study the actual processes that make up our daily lives, the weirder and more bizarre it seems to become.
Maybe it would benefit me to concentrate on these things. To study everything from nanotechnology to quantum physics and everything in between. From microscopic amoebas all the way up to celestial bodies. Maybe then I would understand how I can talk to someone on the other side of the world, using a cellular device. Maybe I could figure out how human instinct and intuition works. Or how a microwave can heat my meal in seconds. Perhaps I'll even solve the dilemma of why dropped toast always lands buttered side down. Maybe it is somehow linked to cats always landing on their feet. Who knows.
What scares me most is, how we really just live our lives and accept all of this.
Question everything. Learn eternally.
