A question just crossed my mind just now. Wondered what is more powerful? The most powerful sword on Earth or the Shaft that holds this most powerful sword. What a question to ponder about huh? Well one would relate this to so many aspect of our lives that we as the usual superficial human beings overlook. Lets take soccer for example. So many were the times that we cheered on the strikers who scored goals that won the day. However who actually wondered about the stunning display of performance that the defense gave to prevent the opposition from wining the match? Then there’s the band (haha, good one to relate in) We always hear those wonderful solos played by trumpet, flutes, and there’s the melody line, and running notes, Trombone, euphonium, Horn. Wow, this instruments sounded great many would say (those who don’t really understand band) Now, who actually says, “wow listen to the holding note of the Tubas, how it supports the band and the sound?” Many a times so many people do not see the ones who support the success which others achieve. What’s the light bulb if Newton teachers never taught him to read and write, if his parents never guided him? Whats the cleaniness of Singapore without the cleaners? What’s so powerful of a sword if it could suppose to be able cut through anything except for the shaft that holds it? So which is more powerful, the sword which can destroy? Or the shaft? Food for thought NO. 1
