Learn from Differences

"Perhaps if humanity focused less on what separates us from one another and more on what we could learn from our differences, we would stop killing one another."
--Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, NCIS Season 7 Episode 10

Goodbye

"I've had to say goodbye more times than I'd have liked. But everyone can say that. And no matter how many times we do it even if it's for the greater good, it still stinks. And though we'll never forget what we've given up, we owe it to ourselves to keep moving forward. What we can do is live our lives always afraid of the next goodbye. Because chances are, they are not going to stop. The trick is to recognize when a goodbye can be a good thing, when it's a chance to start again." - Ugly Betty, Season 4 Ep 11

Is Nature Simple or Complicated?

I think they are both. I think nature comprises both elements - its simplicity and its complications. How can you explain a bumblebee whose aerodynamically not supposed to fly and yet it flies, that's complicated. Or how can you explain the very basic of water it flows from the high to the low, that sounds pretty simple.

One quote that's related to nature that caught my mind recently was from a new TV show called Pretty Handsome. It's about this prestigious doctor who came from a very well to do family who secretly has the urge of being a woman. Yes, he's a guy, but since young he wants to be a woman, a secret he has been keeping to himself. The show (though very uneasy to watch by some, it's something "not" normal) has brought to focus on how being closed-minded towards one's choices in life has made others suffer in silence. It's a pity and tragic.

Anyway, the doctor has a genius son who's finally putting up one big aquarium and he tried to rear seahorses. There were 2 seahorses in the aquarium, the male and female. He said the male seahorse has the role of a female when it comes to fertilizing their eggs. As quoted from wikipedia - "The female inserts her ovipositor into the male’s brood pouch, where she deposits her eggs, which the male fertilizes."

When the parents are amazed at this phenomenon, the genius boy said:

"Nature at its best is complicated"

I can't agree less. The wold is so much more than what we see and know. And yet here we are compartmentalized things and think our ways are the rightest way. Oh how foolish that can be. If only humans observe more of the nature and learn from them may be one day they'll understand, they don't know nothing yet.
