Verdict: Useless! Sometimes, when we look at something we don't understand, we form a verdict deep within our brain: useless! Yes, it's precisely knowledge that can protect us from the quick judgment we

Sand time. It occurred to me that time is absolutely sand time now, lol. And it doesn't matter whether you measure time with an hourglass or have a top-brand mechanical watch on your wrist, time is still

Dreams flying beyond the horizon. A good dream is one destined to come true, while other dreams... are just dreams? Do dreams lose their value over time? It's unclear. On the one hand, they can be strengthened

The mud of engineering thoughts. Have you seen those blooming ponds where the water is green, completely devoid of transparency? It's not a pond anymore, but a complete mud, to put it jokingly. Sometimes

Autumn's angry cry. Do you think autumn can't scream angrily? Do you think the sound of rain beating on the roof and the rustle of fallen leaves underfoot are all the sounds of autumn? I thought so too.

Where there are no feelings. Feelings are considered a human trait, reserved for most living things, and can be expressed and felt. But sometimes, certain familiar feelings can be discerned where feelings

Justified surprise. Surprise comes in many forms. Sometimes it's caused by something incredible, and sometimes it's caused by something very simple, bordering on ignorance, like surprise that hiding two

Controversial feelings. There's a saying that says a person feels good when they feel good, and it's hard to argue with that. It's this intangible "good" that drives us forward when things aren't

Never say "Never" to new horizons. Never say "Never" to new horizons—that thought occurred to me yesterday after watching another educational video from a blogger who breeds rabbits

Trust is like a vacation by the sea. Trust is like a vacation by the sea. You've worked all year and worked through winter toward the cherished goal of finding yourself on the shores of a warm sea during

In search of the fundamental wisdom of our ancestors. There is perennial debate over the idea that, at some time and place, our ancestors did the very things we do today—only better, with higher quality,

A tricky term. We often use time-related terminology in our daily lives; some concepts are perfectly clear, others are harder to grasp, and some are so vague—so "elastic"—that it is virtually

It all comes down to water. There is a humorous saying that goes, "Sausage isn't meat, and a chicken isn't a bird"—but one could take that further; after all, not everything liquid can be called

The wind knows no regrets. People—especially those who make quick decisions—are sometimes compared to the wind; this is true in part, yet in other respects, it is not. Unlike people, the wind knows no

Waiting and obedience. Waiting and obedience—and especially waiting in obedience—seem pointless if there is no specific goal involved. People who are obedient and know how to wait are less conspicuous

Other people's dreams. Other people's thoughts—and dreams even more so—are a mystery... don't argue, lol. Just as it is hard to fathom the thoughts of others, it is equally difficult to understand the

The elusive, chubby mouse. Have you ever tried catching a mouse? It’s no easy task, especially if a mouse has made its way into a room filled with enough furniture to give it plenty of hiding spots. One

Holding fast to promises. Promises—or what we call by that name—often ring hollow when they come from people. This is particularly evident during one's school years: first-graders are told that all the

Total control. Have you ever visited a commercial seaport? It is an incredible sight from the outside: massive ships arriving and departing, cargo being moved by huge cranes—everything is in motion and

Everything is normal on Mars—no problems. You know, if you look at life through the lens of sci-fi movies, Mars is perhaps the only place where there are no problems. Yes, there are no people there yet,
