The Sun and The Wind

 Do you remember the last argument you have with someone? What was it about? Was it about your strength? Was it about your weakness? Was it a gossip about somebody else that is not related to you? Or was it about getting into argument for arguing sake? 


Long long time ago, we have a story went like this:

The Sun

 The Sun and The Wind were arguing who was the stronger. They decided to test it on a passerby, whoever managed to make the passerby took his jacket off won. The Wind began to blow hard, harder and the hardest, while the sun watching behind a cloud. The passerby responded by holding on to his jacket closer as the win got stronger. The Wind gave up eventually. So, the Sun stepped in. The Sun shone the heat upon the passerby who soon took off his jacket as it was getting hot. The Sun won..... 

The Wind

The Sun and The Wind are both equally important to us. The Sun, functions as a free source of energy; The Wind, functions as a temperature regulator. Both of them work together to create climates, facilitate all kinds of human activities on earth and teach us about nature. The newer version of the story is they try to see who is stronger since the 90's and the earth wreaked havoc. We have global warming, heat strokes, droughts, huge storms etc..... Both of them are trying to out compete each other while living and nonliving things are facing mass destruction. We can't mediate their conflict directly but by changing the heat and water content generated by human activities, in other words, other elements, we can probably reduce the negative impacts.

We are lucky nowadays that we have a lot of  things easily available. But the downside to this is: a lot of free time available for people to get connected. Sometimes, we talk, argue but still work together over important issues that are concerning us; sometimes we chat and bicker over small things that don't bother us at all.  Other times, we create arguments to tickle the brains, the mouth and may be the hand; stimulate the saliva production and may be anger in someone. 


The point is:


1. If we work together with each others' strength, amazing things can happen.


2. If we fight to see who is stronger, a lot of damages may be induced, wanted or unwanted.


3. Sometimes we need to solve a conflict by reducing the input of  other unnatural sources, which means, do not add heat or ice onto someone's plight, unless you want to make the matter worse. 


There was a funny story I heard some times ago:

Organs' fight over who is the most important.

One day, the organs in a human body was fighting to see who is the most important part of the body. 

The Brain said:' I'm the most important one. Without me, you can't even think, talk or walk.'

The Mouth said:' I'm the most important one. Without me, you can't even eat, speak or breath.'

The Heart said:' I'm the most important one. Without me, you will die instantly.'

The Liver said:' I'm the most important one. Without me, you will be malnutritious.'

......... Other organs were giving out their statements respectively and FINALLY....................,

The Ass Hole said:' I'm the most important one............................'

The whole body laughed without waiting for him to finish his sentence. Out of frustration, The Ass Hole went on strike. 

One day, two days had passed without any major change. Other organs continued to laugh. On the third day, the stomach started to feel discomfort. The following day, the brain started to feel dizzy. Then the whole body went limp, lethargy. Eventually, all of the organs in the body couldn't stand it anymore. They gave up and said:' Alright! Alright! You win! You are the most important one among us ASS HOLE!'........ 


The moral of the story is: EVERYONE is important. 

Do we really need to step on others to gain what we want sometimes? Any fair fight exist nowadays? 

A question for you to ponder today. I would very much like to hear from you.
