intersting philosophy

[xr022kbKr02h]

here is one philosophy i have read from a book and share it with you guys...it is quite long...:


In you point of view, is one grain of salt which weighs 1 microgram big or small? You think it is small? Think again...

One grain of salt contains ten to the power of 16 atoms. Meaning there are ten sillions atom in a grain of salt. Among these ten zillion atoms, half are chloride and the other half are sodium. Chloride is a deadly poisonnous gas which was used as a chemical weapon during the World Wars. Sodium is a corrosive metal which starts burning when in contact with water. However, when these ttwo lethal elements combine together, they become a stable and safe compund call sodium chloride -- table salt...

Now tell me again, is one grain of salt big or small?

Same with you, you think you are small? think again

A grain of salt is small in reference to humans, because it is so tiny in our hands and causes us to squint. Humans are small in reference to African elephants, blue whales, mountains, the ocean, the Pentagon, and Red Wood trees. What the elements of salt, and whether salt is big or small (and in reference to what), has to do with each other, you'll have to explain.

PS: Are you from Singapore? I hear it's a great country, and it's even richer and more developed than the United States. What is it like?

I think they mean (correct me if im wrong) that even though one person is small when compared to the size of humanity and how small we are in comparison with the world, we are very powerful, im not sure why they used salt but whatever. We can still do great things, people although small can do big things. I hope thats what they meant.

i m not sure about the 'richer and more developed' thing, but Singapore is indeed considered quite developed...about the rich part...our unemployment rate is getting higher...but our government is more efficient and 'corruption-free' when compared to other countries i think...
