Trivially, we all begin by thinking how to circumvent the hardness of the concrete, or the weakness of the egg. We do not keep conscious of how much more essential the journey is, as compared to the end.

We would live our lives wanting to procure one or another thing, but, say, if Einstein had deduced the Unified Field Theory, or Beethoven had completed the “Unfinished” Symphony, either they would have found another objective to accomplish, or died as impoverished people; impoverished of a desire, of a target to achieve!

If any of us got everything we desired for –even if we unthoughtfully asked for immortality — we are sure to realize how pointless life would be beyond that point of time — when we achieved everything we dreamed of. We would be left with no reason to live; no motive to work towards.

Just as they say, thieves steal so that the police has someone to chase!

One might realize that an egg could be made to fall through four feet unharmed, simply by dropping it from a height of five feet, and catching it mid-air.

Also, as Ayn Rand wondered in ‘The Fountainhead’ — “His head thrown back, he felt the pull of his throat muscles and he wondered whether the peculiar solemnity of looking at the sky comes, not from what one contemplates, but from that uplift of one’s head.”

P.S: This essay and the previous one were practice essays for my SAT. In which, I eventually did terribly — even in the essay, which I thought wasn’t that bad.

When was the last time you were delighted to get something you were ‘supposed’ to? For instance, how many of us would actually delight in receiving breakfast? Not me!

What we do not struggle for, we take as granted — the most fundamental example being our own existence. Rarely would one find somebody so conscientious, he actually valued the mere presence of himself. Why? — because one did not have to struggle to be born.

Very unexpectedly, we attribute more value to something of such necessity, we anyways get it. Air to breathe, water to drink, are some more instances of existences having incalculable , and equally unperceived value as well.

Hence, we only value what we struggle for. As is again noticeable — how many memorable stories would we have read — of love, achievement, success, anything! — that did not involve a struggle, an effort? And that was the only factor which gave it the value it attained.

One would not measure the height of the fruit on the tree by a meter scale from the sea level — but by how hard one had to jump; or carefully one had to throw a stone, to get it!

Then what about transformations of a 3-D space? Could we do those around a hypersphere…? Very pretty.
