Imperfection
02 Feb 2019Rho Tefnutet
It takes one chance given by life to prove your usefulness. It not to the other person - at least to yourself. Flaws can be turned into pieces that make advantage, disability into ability and your own shame into fundament of the finest honour. Imperfection - that is how I call it. We are imperfect and bound to that nature of our own. But that is what makes us different and special among the countless stars. One should not seek to change in order to applease and fulfill the other's needs. Rather to embrace own self and to shape the very fabric of reality around. To change the world one is sunk deep into.
Many tend to ignore their own greatness, the others - such as Zheng He, Michio Kaku or Elon Musk - grasp the chance and sail into the unknown waters. "There be dragons," the others would say and convince them away from ideas that can be seen as madness. But the great people always step out and claim to be these dragons.
Ever since humanity looked into stars, it wondered: What is out there? Is there a way to reach the skies, the heaven, the very stars? Are there others out there who look into stars and wonder about us as well? Our imperfection made us stronger, as we sought and broke more and more barriers we could find. We designed boats to cross the oceans. We manufactured planes to reach the skies. We created rockets to break out from gravity. We built spaceships to reach deep into our own Solar System. We designed FTL drives to reach stars beyond it.
Have it all stopped us at all? Quite the opposite. We still reach into unknown for the new challenges and invent ways to break them. For it is our own imperfection to make us stronger, wiser, better.
