I think the saying is about not losing sight of the big picture while focusing on the details. I think you may focus on the trees and the animals and the mushrooms. But you should also see the whole and the interplay between the individual parts. Presumably.
When I imagine Ralph, I see an outsider who is avoided by the other children and ignored by the teachers, with a loving but somehow helpless father. …being lonely , not being part of the group, not understanding the rules of the world around him.
I think it has to do with the need for attention and closeness. When you lack it, you turn to the person who has already fulfilled this need for you. It’s hard to live with unfulfilled needs that you can’t fulfill yourself. I guess the key is to learn how to find a relationship where your feelings are reciprocated (and to find out when they are not). I know that feeling and I don’t have a solution.
I don’t know whether this is a characteristic that is more prevalent in autistic people.
The two examples are totally different things. I don’t get it.
He was a Dr. indeed! And what a doctor he was.
May I remind you all of Mr. Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov, who was known for a successful
Self-appendectomy while stationed at a remote research station in Antarctica
?
I attributed that to the drawing style, as the colours can also be found in the other panels.
The sockets look like the cat’s face - also pareidolia.
Defenestration
Notable autodefenestrations:
On July 9, 1993, the prominent Toronto attorney Garry Hoy fell from a 24th story window in an attempt to demonstrate to a group of new legal interns that the windows of the city’s Toronto-Dominion Centre were unbreakable. He performed the same stunt on several previous occasions – dramatically slamming his body against the window – but this time it popped out of its frame and he fell to his death. The accident was commemorated by a 1996 Darwin Award and has been re-enacted in several films and television shows.
To be fair, no question was asked.
But introversion just means that talking decreases someone’s energy. Does it also mean that introverts don’t want to talk with others about topics that interest them? I thought, that this isn’t the case.
PS: Yes I get it. It’s meant to be paradox/ absurd by contrasting the two contradictory statements with each other. :)
Too late maybe. :)
These characters have multiple entirely different meanings. How does one find out what the supposed meaning is? Or is it up to the reader to decide?
Putting on our moon armour could solve a lot of problems. It’s not my most favourite solution though.
PS: Gonggong?!
Edit: dwarf planet. Discovered in 2007 and named after a god in the chinese mythology:
Gonggong was ashamed that he lost the fight with Zhurong, the Chinese god of fire, to claim the throne of Heaven. In a fit of rage, he smashed his head against Buzhou Mountain, one of eight pillars holding up the sky, greatly damaging it and causing the sky to tilt towards the northwest and the Earth to shift to the southeast, which caused great floods and suffering.

Does Attention economy describe that phenomenon or is that term just used for longer-term events? Or is it even something different?
You seem ambivalent about the topic. I understand your arguments, but I don’t agree with your solution. That doesn’t need to bother you. We probably have very different requirements for transportation.
I live in an area where I don’t need a car to get where I want to - bike, bus and train are sufficient. And I don’t normally need to transport so much that I need a car. And if I need a car I get a rental for a short time.
Sometimes I shake my head a little in disbelief because I find the trend towards more individual transportation within large cars concerning. But then again my lifestyle isn’t for everyone and who am I to judge? (But I’m entitled to my own opinion. ;)
Just get an even bigger car, it will keep you safe from those.
Nice. I really like this. Thank you!
