A Hibiscus is not a Rose

If there is something life is trying to etch into my mind right now, it's the fact that specific objects cannot represent one another adequately to create a replacement...or simply...one thing cannot replace another. The fact that these things cannot replace the other is probably the reason one gets stuck in discontinuity...or rather, the fact that one forces to accept something to replace another is the reason one gets stuck in this discontinuity.

Reality is always something that moves towards an end to support new beginnings, the same way beginnings occur in order to create an ending... Further, reality isn't something that keeps a constant lose an apple get a new one cycle... Eventually, you'll need to pick up an orange. Even further, if you pick up one apple, it would always be different from the last apple you got. It's like law, things are determinate, and if you want a specific apple which is not available, you'll need to move on with life and just go and starve or pick up whatever is in sale. But what if you aren't after the apple because it is an apple...what if you wanted THAT apple because of the fact that it was the sweetest among any other apples... that is when you realize that you are privileging yourself to rights that you were never entitled to have.

Nothing else can replace what has already been lost, and the biggest mistake one can make is to force something to replace another... Is replacement a method of moving on? Or is it something that just blinds you from seeing the real picture you need to face? If you think that a hibiscus would replace a rose, your just fooling yourself...but if you find that a hibiscus is something that WILL give you as much utility as the rose, then you should be OK.

End thought, REALITY doesn't wait, but you don't need to chase it.
