A Pondering Mind

A little of this. A little of that.


Water

“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness. “

  1. It’s actually the constant rubbing and movement of the water that erodes rock and it’s not soft. If you hit water, after jumping off the Golden Gate bridge, it is as hard as a rock and will break every bone in your body, so…uh…and it takes water a million years to do things like rub away rock and if the water just sits there, in a pool/pond and doesn’t move, the rock would not erode…it’s friction. Without movement water doest do anything to the rock. But hey, most of the sayings and things don’t make sense to me.

    1. Some of the sayings go back hundreds, maybe thousands of years.
