Lately, I've been thinking a lot about what would happen if a meteor crashed down to Earth and spilled the blood of the planet into the oceans. Surely the Algae would filter most of it, but would they not sprawl overly as a result of it? It would, in a way, create a living wound, and the Algae would create a prospering slough that , in a way, would heal the planet, but then, after the planet's blood has been cleansed, die off. I'm sure there is a metaphor to be found in that, but I cannot quite make sense of it. Something about how every injury is a chance to grow stronger, but how does one create an analogy out of it? I think I will need to meditate about that some more, although, if I'm honest with myself, I'm not entirely sure if it is that reasonable, or useful, as, after all, we will soon have the technology to prevent meteors from striking our planet in the first place. Some might argue, we already have the reagents for such a technology, and that we only haven't brought them together to create the actual defense mechanism, because the universe has not yet blessed us with a heavinly body that would require such technology to exist in the first place. Which again could make for a great metaphor, something about how the hurdles that are blocking our path, and must be overcome, ultimately make us who we are, and that a life without adversity is ultimately a life without self-improvement.
