Universal Symmetry and the Clogged Pipe

 Up's and down's

This universe, as we see it, is a dynamic one. Life throws several things at you, most of which you can segregate as good or bad for you. Sometimes motivation appears as, "Don't you worry, if there is a fall there will be a rise!" Sometimes, the prodigal may be warned, "Don't be too happy because painful times lie ahead!"

It is all so convoluted and the Universal Symmetry is what keeps you from living the extremes - too scared to be too happy because you fear you will weep bitterly for the present happiness. "You rise only to fall." said Ultron, and a further projection, "More the rise, more the fall!"

The standing pond has a lifeless, motionless water, until there is a ripple. The ripple travels to the end with an even up-and-down almost instantly. Sometimes, the ripple returns, most other times, it diminishes on the way to the end. However, the up-and-down being even is very evident.

The Clogged Pipe

Such a universal equilibrium is more common than you can imagine, but there are places you see the clogged pipe. It might be a very obscure thought - a new water pipe that lets water pass through it freely, is slowly clogged by certain unfortunate large particles, which make the pipe susceptible to more blockage by further deposition. The interesting aspects are: the initial blockage is caused due to large particles only; the presence of large particles keeps the smaller particles from passing, only to further the clogging; had there not been the first large particle that initiated the clogging, the chain reaction may have been avoided. 

A good strike with a baseball bat on the thigh will give you some pain, but you don't require that force to feel the same pain if you're struck where you've been struck before. The clogged pipe may be not be as famous as the Universal Symmetry but is surely ominously present. It is experimental in the case of MOOD. A bad mood in the morning may cause lesser efficiency in the things you do that day, which further spoils your mind - until you clear the clogged pipe.

An impractical but theoretical method exists to clear the clogged pipe - let the water forcibly flow in the opposite direction. The analogy refers to travelling back in time and revisiting your past. Only understanding your past can help you remodel the present to create a convenient future, or if you're lucky enough, you can gamble with your future.

Life is a bowl

 and you are incharge of its orientation.

 you are incharge only of its orientation.

only you are incharge of its orientation.

you are incharge of its only orientation.

 

 If you place a table-tennis ball in the middle, a small displacement will cause a disturbance but it swings positively and negatively and ultimately comes back home. However if you choose to flip the bowl, then it is a feat to place the ball in the middle, because a slight disturbance can cause it to roll away to infinity. 

Letting go and holding on to something are both choices that you make.
