Friction

When an object moves forward, it does itself a favor by pushing things into the past. It moves forward with a lot of support from within itself and a bit from the external world. The most important of the external world is the friction which physics say is a force developed at the contact point of the object and its path. But, friction may have nothing to do with the contact point or the shape, nature or smoothness of the path the object takes. Since, Physics cannot prove the thinking patterns of that particular object and physics, like law science also lives only on recorded data and assumes the case(object) is dead. 

But, I am sure that when the Latins first used this word(which I dont have a clue if they did), did not know physics and were talking something that is not related to an object moving or rolling up or down. It was not that difficult for that man to say, that overcoming the resistance needs just a unit more than its opposition.

I just wonder what would have happened to that object had it had the power to think, analyse and then act. Will it remain the same courageous object and try to push itself against the opposition? Will it be ready to do it even if its analyses say that it is going to be the opposition that is going to win it? Will it be ready to to take a risk and move forward even though its predecessors never did it?

The object's case is similar to a kid who is walking for the first time without the help of the accessories. His limbs develop and instinctively, he starts walking. He doesn't know the implications of his attempts, nor he has any previous records. But, the very attempt of his transforms his life into a mobile object. 

The power of thinking is always challenged by the frictional forces that comprises different forms of fear. The fear of losing what my conscience calls as Black Blanket, is the Mother of all. Fear is more of an emotion that is in the disguise of caution. Caution is created by the past happenings recorded or possible dangers that exist on the road. Caution is the child of thinking often mistaken as an off-spring of fear.

The ability to challenge the frictional forces is the only reason why mankind(read thinking objects) have been so successful today. The people who unmasked the black blanket long ago are already waiting on the other side teasing us. The difference is you will not be able to see it unless you uncover yourself.

When Nietzsche said "Man ties himself to a yoke and then runs around in circles" probably, he meant the yoke is the resistance to do the newer things which is caused by the programming set in your mind by your parents, teachers, religion etc. Just free yourself from that yoke and you gallop in any direction you choose to instead of going on circling the yoke and complaining about the pain in your neck.
