– “I don’t get you. You’re so different.
From others. And from yourself too.
It’s like you’re always a different person.
Each time. Each place.
And yet, you always get what you want.
You figure out solutions to any problem.
Help me understand. What is it?”
– “Did you take out the trash?”
– “Yes.”
– “Why did it become trash?”
– “Well, it was useful no more.”
– “Because it used to fit somewhere
but now it fits nowhere?”
– “Exactly.”
– “What’s the one thing we never trash?”
– “I… can’t say.”
– “Have you ever trashed air?”
– “How can we? It’s… air.”
– “If we needed to trash it,
humans would’ve found a way.
But we don’t. For we don’t need to.
It’s always useful. Everywhere.
Even polluted air is recycled and reused.
Know why it’s so damn useful?”
– “It’s useful, for it can be.
Its form can be changed.”
– “Exactly. It fits everywhere;
for it fits to nothing in particular.
It sticks to no form.
That’s me. I’m air. I’m fluid.
No roles. No scripts. No ideals.
I reject everything that makes me rigid.
It’s the rigidity that turns us into trash.
People exploit us when
our roles are predictable.
Problems defeat us when
our ways are no more applicable.”
– “You don’t react in pre-set predictable forms.
You respond as per the situation. Smart.”
– “Life changes all the time.
Situations shift and parameters alter.
Survival and success need us to change too.
Those who set themselves in patterns, fail.
Those who live free of patterns, succeed.”
