Cruel Change

Once upon a time there was a girl who dreamed to change the world...


So she went out there believing that she could really change the world...



Then she met an old lady...
The old lady asked her what is she doing here on earth...
She told the lady... "I want to change the world... and I know I can... I know I will."


The lady smiled and said... " My child be careful... the world is never really a safe place."
The girl smiled back then walked away.




Time goes by...


Time goes by and by...


The girl who dared to change the world changed.


She thought she could change the world... but it is the world that changed her.


Fin.

Gravity

Sometimes I wanted to hate gravity because it pulls everything down, like it prevents everything to fly. You jump… you fall… because of gravity. If you fall, you get hurt or even die. We can have all the reasons in the world to hate it.



But then I asked myself… how is it to be able to fly for eternity and you can never rest your feet?… because there is no gravity. It would be very, very tiring – right? It is like the thought of flying but the truth is… you’re just floating without a ground to stand on – so tiring.



There is a lesson in gravity. A lesson why there is and why there should be gravity. It is the reason why we fall, we get hurt, and we die. But it is also the same reason why we could finally rest our tired feet ever wanting to touch the ground. The reason why we could finally settle down our whole body and be able to maintain our balance.



Flying is great… floating is fine, but falling and finally reaching the ground is the feeling that only the gravity at the center of the earth could make you feel. I believe it is strangely awesome.



Maybe that is the reason why the world is round and not flat… so that the gravity could be placed at the center of the earth, because if it is flat… then it would be just under. But since the earth is round, gravity is placed at the center … gravity is the reason why we fall… it is at the center. Love is the reason why we fall… maybe because it is at our center.



The truth is… gravity NEVER pulls us down… it pulls us TOWARDS THE CENTER… to finally gain our balance… to finally know that we are at rest even though the world continues to rotate and revolve tiringly around us.


Let the gravity work.
