The Depth and The Stone..

Another simple philosophy here..

I am talking about an analogy of water depth now. Let say it is a lake with a certain depth. When a lake is so shallow, you can see the bottom of the lake almost clearly. When a lake is so deep, all you can see is the darkness of the bottom. But, you cannot see the bottom of the lake itself.

Now throw a lake with a stone. The more shallow the lake, the wave will remain vibrating longer. Throwing a bigger stone to the lake will also create a longlasting wave. Also, the water will be easily crumbled when the water be thrown by a stone if the depth is so shallow.

What does it means?

Water depth is an analogy of your knowledge. The little you know, and other people could see through the very bottom of your thinking, just like when you see the bottom of the shallow lake. The more you know, and other people will find it hard to see through your thinking, just like when you see the bottom of a deep lake. This 'hard to see through thinking' does not have the meaning of cannot be understood. It is all about predictable or unpredictable thinking. People with depth will become an unpredictable person. They can come up with a very special idea that no one have ever predict it or expect it. While a very shallow person will have an ordinary thinking that everybody could predict, so everybody can prepare for the counter attack.

The more shallow the lake, the longer the wave will remains vibrating. It means that when you strike a shallow person with intelligence (stone is the analogy of intelligence), they will receive a great disadvantage (wave is hte analogy of damage) and the disadvantage will remain longer, vice versa. The greater he intelligence you had the greater the disadvantage you can inflict to the person.

The depth represents the KNOWLEDGE you have. The stone represents the INTELLIGENCE you have. The more knowledge you have, the intelligence your opponent need to take you on. Knowledge is the representative of defense while intelligence is the representative of attack. To hold of your opponents argument when you are in a some kind of debate, you have to use your knowledge to break the logic that your opponent use to strike you. To strike your opponent, you have to use your intelligence to seek his weaknesses on his arguments. Having both of them is necessary.

That is the analogy of 'The Depth and The Stone'..
