The Push and the Pull


The Push and the Pull

Is force. You’d have read this in your primary classes. And I bet there ain’t a single soul alive who didn’t snigger reading – a push or pull is called force. Hadn’t realized it back then that an innocently giggled upon definition would lead us to making life changing decisions. 
You must have always experienced the FORCE but never were able to realize it. Honestly, have you never needed a starting thought, a force, an inspiration before venturing into something new? I call this the push. One always needs the right push in the right direction. This is all it takes to make you a successfully satisfied person. Right push in the wrong direction or vice versa leads to disappointing frustration. Wrong push and wrong direction routes to disaster. 
Thus, when in this frustration and dissatisfied life, you get a small ray of hope that promises you a better future, you just grab it with all your might. I call this the pull. 
You’ll never realize the importance of the push and the pull until you understand it. In fact, Science is full of postulates that show us the meaning of life. I find force the most interesting and the most applicable to my life. If you ever thoroughly go through the properties of force, you’ll be surprised to notice how closely it is analogous to our lives! Try applying the laws of inertia and you’ll find it same as to the reason we celebrate our happiness for a long time or cry over something lost. 
One more amazing analogy is the theory of energy – It can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another. We’ve always seen great poetry and works coming out of pain. That just shows you how a whole load of energy in the pain has been converted into literature. Similarly, we have seen great works of art and architecture coming out of enormous joy and celebration.
Hence, next time you find your primary school science texts, just take a few minutes to simply flick through the pages. I’m sure you’ll find all your life’s answers and actions in it. Have a happy reading
