A thought came to me a few moments ago, when pouring myself a hot glass of tea. What happens when there is hot tea in a glass and you suddenly dip the whole thing in ice? Well, I suppose the glass will shatter into pieces… it cannot hold being hot while being in total coldness. I guess the human soul is the same, philosophically speaking. Consider a baby! If there is hot and cold reactions coming down on him both at the same time, the soul will shatter, the soul will be confused, it will lose the direction it is intending to go. I wish we could create unity in the things that are around on us, either this way or that way. We cause confusion and break things when everything is different and all mixed up! Further more, I wish that we could stand the confusion when it is caused! I guess I can say, it is interesting how the human soul follows natural principles, more interesting still that it can overcome the deficiencies in these principles through awareness and determination and reach higher levels of truth and wisdom.

Today, a piece of glass fell and “shattered” into pieces when I was trying to squeeze lemon juice into my glass of tea! Funny… the shattering was not because of “hot” or “cold” water… I just happened to be very careless!
