fractal turbulences

You never feel the whirls that are too large or too small. Turbulence affects you at your own scale.

What a beautiful fact, a rich reservoir of metaphors!

- Every level in a social hierarchy has its own dilemmas and conflicts. You should not hope to reach a plateau of happiness by climbing the social ladder.

- Every scale in physics has its own dynamics. For instance, the dynamics here on Earth are almost completely independent from those of the Milky Way.

- Periods of stillness can be deceptive. At any time, the imperceptibly small changes boiling underneath may combine to form the next chaotic period that will literally swallow you up like a rogue wave. 

- The source of your unhappiness may be due to the turbulences you feel at a level that you do not really belong to. Try adjusting your conditions and expectations down or up.

- Millions of trillions of microbes live on earth, minding their own businesses. They are completely oblivious to our aspirations, sufferings, breakthroughs, disappointments etc. We live on completely different levels, yet are part of the same ecosystem.
