I appreciate myself of getting "smaller"....
This is something the completely logical which also completely ignored when humans include their ego into their reasonings.
Think of an empty glass, think of water drops.
You learn something, the glass is filled with one drop of water. In life, you learn new things everyday. Thus the glass is getting full.
The crosspath should appear when the glass is filled.
... unconciously, people are subject to proceed upon one of the two selections
Change into the bigger glass, or keep it the same?
... unconciously again, people tend to go for the latter choice.
This is ego of people. This is what make people feel they are so big and all.
Back to logic reasonings, are they really that big?
I would say yes they are... such a perfect people to be called obsoletists.
-- Please feel free to be small, learn new things... accept them into your lives
and then you are the biggest man you'll ever be.
