Random Thought

Why does a piece of paper, like an 8" x 11" feel lighter when it is unfolded than when it's crumpled. E.g., try throwing a piece of paper in a trash bin froma distance. It won't make it if it's not crumpled. You have to crumple it in order for that piece of paper to make it to the trash bin.

I know, it's probably just simple physics but I was just amused by the thought. I was also thinking how it relates to life. You don't go through life unscathed. In order for you to make it somewhere, you have to be crumpled and wrinkled and pressed. Coz if you're like a piece of flat paper, the wind will just playfully toss you around.

But of course I don't wanna end up getting thrown in the trash bin. Know what I'm sayin?
