As I have nobody to share some of my thoughts with, I would like to write one of them here. Maybe to fool myself and pretend that I am actually having a conversation. Very much like some autists childs do parallel plays with other childs like they were playing with them.
Any feedback is welcome.
So as a designer I have had a basic problem with reality itself and how it works. If I ever meet God I would like to give him this feedback. Hopefully I will be dead by that time, because every time I give feedback to an authority I get myself in problems.
I remember being at the beach as a kid building a sand castle with my father and sister. We spent our good 2-3 hours on it. We went to the water to refresh ourselves when a small kid passed by and smashed the castle.
My father told me that I should not get angry with the small kid because he did not know what he was doing. So I told him: It's unfair that no knowledge or effort is necessary to destroy something that requires so much effort and knowledge to be built.
And to my disgust, I have seen that principle repeated everywhere, as it was a fundamental rule of creation. Very much like the Pareto Principle that is also everywhere (Pareto principle - Wikipedia)
So to become a good surgeon and safe people lives, in just one specialty like heart tons of efforts and resources are needed. Years of training. And just one person with a knife or a rock can end that life, even by accident. No training needed.
To help some person to recover from bullying trauma, years of hard work, knowledge and commitment are necessary. Just some ignorant kids are necessary to bully someone until suicide.
For a forest to grow and develop all their biodiversity are needed hundred to thousands of years, and the combined efforts of millions of life beings, from trees to insects to viruses. Just one lightning needed to destroy it all, or a drunk human who forget to properly put out their bonfire.
Companies that take decades to be built can be destroyed by just one bad CEO.
Entire countries can be thrown into poverty by one bad president.
One somewhat random rock falling into the earth can wipe out half of the living species quite casually.
And despite this, we are alive. All this effort against the odds is done everyday by our cells. People still study to build things that may be easily destroyed. Nature keeps trying surge after the forest fire, even adapted to take advantage of the disaster to grow faster.
Countries get rebuilt, traumatized people do continue with their lives and sand castles are built.
That's how it works.
Thank you for reading.
