Someone once told me, that the square block was just supposed to fit in the square hole. When I heard this, I thought the person was demented. I thought, ”Ummmm Nooooo…..things just don’t fall into place like that. If you want something to work, to fit, you have to work on it, maybe make some adjustments or trim around the edges. I thought, “How could it just be that simple”? I don’t know of anything in life thus far that has been simple, not anything that has been really worth it to me anyways. Well, the more I’ve thought about it and tried to understand it, I realize, my friend isn’t so nuts. Some things are just meant to be a certain way and when you try my method, of squeezing and forcing the square peg, it doesn’t always work. I’m not exactly sure what makes the square peg slide right in, but I know that by force is certainly not the way. Maybe its just time? Maybe its maturity? Maybe it’s by trail and error? Maybe the square peg tried all the triangles and circles before it realized where the square hole was. Or who knows, maybe it just needs some lube!!!
I want to know – How Do You Think the Square Peg Finds it Way to the Square Hole? When is it Appropriate to Just Let Things Be?
What if this square block wasn’t a square but 2 triangles put together?? maybe it isn’t one block but many small block made into one. Don’t look at the simplest answer for it is usually not the best one. It is a solution but do you want to toil with one that is temporary or one that will solve the issue at hand permanently. look at the object from all side and attack it head on unless its headless then that’s all up to you to figure out

Hmmmm… seems like there is some subliminal messages behind this blog….(((mind wondering))) anyway…Simplicity my dear. The problem with people these day’s is they complicate the hell out of everything. We always tend to think there is more to something than meets the eye(wow transformers reference). Next time you come across some kind of geometric problem(<—metaphor) look at the simplest solution it will most likely be the correct one. When is it appropriate to let things be? Sorry hun its not going to be that easy, this one you will have to figure out yourself. My best advice follow your heart, your mind will play tricks on you. Think about it
