Lao Tzu's Matter = Energy Conversion (Essay)

Einstein
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I did something gentle again. I'm such a gentle guy!!
またgentleなことしちゃった。 僕ってgentleっ子ちゃん!!
This poetry is a masterpiece. I was making instant ramen for lunch when I saw a piece of softened seaweed(wakame) lying in the corner of the kitchen and disposed of it in a water bucket. This water bucket is for spreading the sewage in the garden as fertilizer instead of pouring it down the kitchen drain. I thought for a moment and decided to put the seaweed in the ramen. I picked it up again.
After lunch, this poem suddenly popped into my head. Wakame (matter) was transformed into poetry (energy). This is the "matter = energy" conversion in Einstein's theory of relativity itself. It is not well known, but the amount of mental energy poured into one poem is super-enormous. Its size is comparable to a huge earthquake or even a hydrogen bomb.
Some may think it's impossible, but Einstein, Lao Tzu, and other people who can be called outstanding people were well aware of this history. The kindness of Lao Tzu is that he teaches us that being gentle is a passport to this delightful spiritual world.
PS: The current Minister of Finance, Kato Nobukatsu, is famous for wasting over 1 million yen (7,000 dollars) a day on food. Given that he is not fat, it is clear that his nutritional metabolism is not working properly. If he were to fall from his current position and no longer be able to be a wealthy man, he would become malnourished. I would predict that he will starve to death from malnutrition.
Rei Morishita
老子における物質=エネルギー変換(エッセイ)
アインシュタイン
I did something gentle again. I'm such a gentle guy!!
またgentleなことしちゃった。 僕ってgentleっ子ちゃん!!
この詩は傑作。なにをしているときに出来たかというと、昼食の袋インスタントラーメンを作っていて、ふやけたワカメが一片、台所の隅に落ちているのを見て、水桶に捨てた。この水桶は台所排水を流さずに、庭に撒いて肥料にするためのものだ。ここで私はちょっと考え、このワカメをラーメンに入れることにした。再び拾ったのだ。
昼食が終わったあとで、この詩が頭に弗然と浮かんだ。これは、ワカメ(物質)が詩(エネルギー)に変換したのだ。これは、アインシュタインの相対性理論の「物質=エネルギー」変換そのものである。あまり知られていないが、詩一つに注がれる精神エネルギーは超巨大な物なのである。その大きさはまさしく巨大地震、水素爆弾にすら匹敵する。
まさか、と思う人はいるだろうが、アインシュタインも、老子も、優れた人と呼べる者たちは、この経緯を良く知っていた。ここに老子の親切なところは、gentle (優しい)ことが、このような嬉しい精神世界へのパスポートだと、教えてくれることにある。
PS 現財務大臣:加藤信勝は、一日に100万円余り(7000ドル)の食費を浪費するので有名である。その割に太っていないところを見ると、栄養の代謝が不調だと解る。仮に今の地位を滑り落ちて、御大尽が出来なくなると、栄養失調になるだろう。ずばり、彼は栄養失調で餓死すると予告しよう。

merlin as the village tease/flirt who only ever has little flings with people (much like gwaine) and never develops feelings beyond “oh they’re cute” or “wow they’re a good friend” falling for arthur and having no idea what it means until lancelot has to spell it out for him and then merlin is just a mess. he has to hype himself up before so much as talking to arthur. he feels every time arthur even glances his way and as a result grows clumsier and clumsier to the point where people genuinely believe he was cursed by a sorcerer on one of arthur’s quests that he tagged along on. he can’t look at arthur and listen to arthur simultaneously bc he gets blown away by arthur’s beauty that the rest of the world falls away. pacing for like a solid minute outside arthur’s chambers before he has to wake him up for breakfast, the guards stationed outside watching him go back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth before one of them just opens the door for him.
#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur#im a loser!arthur believer#but merlin is also a loser#when they both realize their feelings for one another they both start doing shit like this#loser4loser couple#after every conversation with arthur no matter how short merlin has to fling like just a shot of pure energy with his magic#otherwise he’ll grow plants all over the castle and it’ll raise questions#lancelot enjoys watching him suffer and will often times just linger in the room with them#headcanon#head canon#hc#fanfiction#fanfic#fic ideas#prompts

okay here is, in my opinion, the most important message cellbit sent today
i was going to confirm something but i promised myself i wouldn't confirm or refute any EDM theories but i'm loving the conversaion, and as a personal note, this is, for me, technically the most important piece of evidence in the game:
Only the God of Fear can bring her back.
and the drawing is of sofia.
#bell.txt#cellbit#enigma do medo#edm spoilers#okay SO#i cant really figure out the exact conversation people were having#aside from that someone argued that the energy provided was what mattered for how long the loop was#which i agree and that's basically stated in one of the new documents#HOWEVER. im very curious about this part#because a lot of the new stuff and a lot of my lingering questions are about this idea of who is the god of fear#which i have a LOTTTTT of thoughts about maybe ill get into them in my post with the new docs

#gamers dont you love it when a friend breaks your heart#smashes every olive branch you extend toward them#accuses you of being the asshole when you fall apart about it#acts like they are sorry#and then just fully ghosts you 100%?#i am so fucking tempted to just give up man.#every time i meet someone and im like#''oh wait they seem normal? not hyperindividualistic? like someone who will like me always not just when im happy?''#''someone who wants to be my FRIEND not just a person in a discord call with me??''#and then i spread myself so fucking thin investing energy into the friendship#(which this person admitted wasn't even ENOUGH like i am SO EXHAUSTED from traumatic abandonment#and losing friends suddenly#that even me working at my MAXIMUM CAPACITY makes people feel like i don't like them)#every fucking time.#nothing turns out different. no matter how much work i put into it#the SECOND a person has the chance to abandon me. they will.#i am just sitting here with two forces inside of me#one who never wants to give up on love and friendship#and another who is so tired#i wish i could just be exhausted and burnt out#and someone or several someones. would love me anyways. love me enough that EVENTUALLY#i will grow my heart back#and i can love them threefold for all the love they showed me#but no one wants me even when i do have the energy to be a good friend so why the fuck would anyone want me like this#dude i am so sad i wasn't meant to live like this i was meant to make friends. close friends.#i just keep re-reading our last conversation before he ghosted me. maybe if i read it enough i can change the ending

i love you all so much <3333
#im so sorry if i don't talk nearly as much as i used to lately it's been stressful and my brain hasn't been right since#my mother having the heart attack#so i haven't had energy to really keep a conversation with anyone even irl. talking itself has been hard even forming words#has been getting hard. butttt i love you all so much no matter what#and even if i don't reach out as much (but will most likely change once everything calms down)#just know i am blasting you guys with so much love#sorry feeling very thankful right now <3

To soothe the pain, love, while I don't believe the Doctor - that is 1-12, the others might - ever SAID 'I love you' to River, I am convinced they taught her Gallifreyan just so she'd understand they kept tracing 'I love you' onto the back of her hand at random moments
Awwh! :’) I love the idea of the Doctor randomly tracing Gallifreyan on her skin to express all the things that they can’t say! I’d sort of thought River knew Gallifreyan instinctually with it on the TARDIS screens, but with her connection to the TARDIS being so inherent, maybe there’s no need.
…but now I’m imagining River recognizing (with their lives out of order), that the shapes he’s tracing are Gallifreyan circles. And maybe she’d connect the dots and study Gallifreyan on her own. And then she would understand what he’s writing — and start to take it wrong that he’s writing it but doesn’t have the guts to actually tell her, and she would overthink forever but not actually ask him…
Until the Doctor notices asks why she’s being cold — and then she tells him — and he says he thought she already knew—
(Crying and hugging ensues.)
#I’m a simple woman I like crying and hugging#sure the doctor avoids addressing what he’s writing as they cry and hug. but it’s matter of fact. it’s of course.#You aren’t wrong 😭 the Doctor is a bundle of issues and terror of vulnerability 😭#random tracing of ily is canon to me now ty#maybe she traces back sometimes. maybe they have slow intimate conversations#11 can’t stay still but with River he doesn’t have to run. he can take it slow.#nonverbal and slow#🥰🥰🥰this is v soothing🥰🥰🥰#on such veins I ALSO wish the Doctor and yaz had a mysterious whisper moment while eating ice cream so we could DREAM#fast forward to fourteen gushing love#anyway Moffat may keep his secrets but unfortunately#RTD did straight up ruin the speculation energy by saying tentoo said ily in Doctor Who Confidential…#BUT tentoo isn’t quite the Doctor. it could very well be his Donna half (human half) to be blamed for that#ten intentionally timed his environmental destruction aka burning up a sun to avoid saying ily#(me rambling all this as someone who voted that he said ily to all of them on my own poll)#river song#words by seaweed

NO because Izzy shouldn't have died purely because hes PART OF THE SHIP. HES THE NEW UNICORN
#LIKE THE WHOLE POINT IS HE ISNT AN AUTHORITY FIGURE EBUT HES A UNIQUE AND INHERENT PART OF THE CREW. UGH#its so frustrating#its just like. none of his accomplishments feel meaningful anymore#him being the new unicorn him singing at calypsos birthday his conversation with Stede him telling Lucius to move on. none of it matters no#a character whos arc was partially about learning to accept help should be able to die old recieving help.#and yeah ! some deaths are tragic and thats the point#But izzys death was so rushed that again. its not MEANINGFUL.#dont fight me on this i dont have the energy /lh#most of the issues i have with the finale are fine cus i know they can be solved in s3 but Izzy is just dead forever now. hes just gone.#UGHHHHHHHH so disappointing#ofmd spoilers#ofmd#our flag means death#izzy hands#izzy ofmd

Idk#btw he's the same person who told me 2 years ago that 'in my medical opinion as a doctor I don't believe you have autism'#(he's not a psychiatrist ifk why his medical opinion matters at this specific 'problem')#Anyway yeah just. weird. it was weird#I don't know what to think#I'd like to get a medical diagnosis but it's too much work. money. time and frankly energy#(also what if I'm neurotypical byt just extremely weird and 'wrong' but with no explanation? I don't want to think about it)#not art#text#personal tag#funny thing is that they took me to a 'specialist' as a child and he 'found nothing'. also 'the teachers didn't say anything was wrong'#(yet one of my teachers that used to work with kids with autism etc told them to get me checked again)#make of that what you want iI have no idea what's wrong with me#maybe I should start going to the psychologist again...

Thinking I don't want to post art anymore
#on the fence about making it too#like... idk man. it took SO much energy and effort and motivation to work on art for the first time in like?? a month??#and i was excited for it only because id hoped someone else could get excited about it too#and then yk after i worked up the nerve to post it publically on a server the first thing that happens#is it gets unceremoniously covered only two hours later. when i hesitated because i KNEW that would happen#and i feel just. too tired to complain or fight it#whats the point yk.#all i want my art to do is start a conversation#art is my in. its my foot in the door. its the homemade snacks you bring to a friends house so you can talk about how good the snacks are#and then talk about something else. i just want to get the ball rolling. i want to feel like i am a fun and valuable person to talk to#because look at what i brought to talk about. look what i made#its not even about validation or appreciation or anything. idc about that. i care about opening a dialouge.#and when i cant even do that with art then... whats the point#... idk. this is real pathetic of me no matter how i look at it#just had to get it out *somewhere*

I’m starting to realize that my thoughts about my gender is a bit like my thoughts about my hair: For the most part I don’t know what the hell is going on so I just let it be what it is
#my hair will be curly and unruly one day and basically straight and silky the next#doesn’t matter what I do cause it has a mind of its own#my gender? I don’t even know what’s happening there#I’m fine with any pronouns#just don’t mix and match cause that drives me crazy#choose one and stick to it for the duration of that conversation thanks#but sometimes I’ll be like :/ about a specific pronoun being used#and I’m like why is this a problem now when it wasn’t yesterday?#doesn’t happen very often but still#so yeah#I just shrug and let it be what it is#I don’t know what label to use but who cares#I don’t have the time or energy to worry about it

i have a lot of leftist friends who are very strongly pro-voting and i have a lot of leftist friends who are very strongly anti-voting and i'm always telling them the same fucking thing: being a condescending asshole about your voting perspective is not going bridge that difference. it is just going to drive a further wedge in our movement.
#its only january and i am already so very very very tired of this conversation#every goddamn post i see. every conversation i have. im#i wish yall would put this much energy into a radical political reform movement#because let me tell you i have voted and i have not voted and i have wanted to vote and been too young#and ive seen it make a difference in some areas. but certain elections in certain places that aint good enough. its not gonna do jack shit#some of us live in the fucking midwest idk what to tell you#west coasties dni lmfaooooo#ig this is my way of saying i dont like the#YOUR VOTE MATTERS#YOUR VOTE NEVER MATTERS#it's complicated. it's nuanced. & frankly the outcome of putting workable politicians into office is very much effected by what happens#AFTER they are elected#my vote mattered A LOT in securing us abortion in ohio. but frankly there was nothing i could do at the ballot box about my republican mayor#can we. can we talk about that aspect.#can we please stop talking about ole jb#i am begging on my fucking knees for us to decentralize the fucking presidency from this convo#absolutely fucking begging

1 comment is one person who read the work (and hopefully liked it but I've gotten too mamy comments to the contrary to believe the lie that comments are always good lol)
100 hits can be generated by things like bots.
10 kudos is 10 people who stayed with my work long enough to hit a button at the end, and probably liked it to some degree
I will never value comments over kudos when my silent readers are still readers and still whole entire people who enjoy my work. Thank you, people who leave kudos even if you can't comment at the time (or at all, for whatever reason). I know you're there, and I love you for it.
(Also people too shy or nervous to leave kudos on some of my works because you're worried about your account being associated with them especially in the current fandom climate these days and I have fics locked to users only--I can't see you, but I appreciate your existence, too, thank you for also enjoying my works! Lurkers are loved here!)
#Lurkers deserve so much more love than they're given and that IS a hill i will die on#Also I have absolutely seen authors whine about 'spam' and 'trash' comments that are just emojis or 'extra kudos'#I do NOT blame people for not wanting to comment if they're not sure if the author is a snob who only wants essay comments or will#Actually appreciate another person saying 'i liked this' to them without extensive elaboration#Lurkers are loved here no matter if they eventually become commeters or not because they're still here#(Also I appreciate you for not expecting me to have a lengthy conversation in the comments of my work when I have limited social energy)#(That said I also do appreciate comments including just emojis or a simple 'i liked this' style#I just don't value them OVER kudos)

I just saw the longest post in which an atheist complained about basically…atheism not being treated with as much respect to just “be” as other religions.
I know I am human and I definitely have bias, but I’ve been many religions and really tried my best to fit those roles- and it just felt. Really lost on me that someone could go on for so long about not wanting discourse about religion brought to them, when bringing up atheism in other religious spaces.
“What I believe directly contradicts what you believe and I want to talk about it” means that you have to be willing to get response? And if you are not, why are you starting those conversations?
I guess I was just really annoyed I spent so long reading a post in which someone was yelling about wanting, a better and different level of respect than pretty much all people get. If you enter the realm of religious discourse, you have to be ready for the discourse part. It LIVES THERE.
TLDR;
I spent too much time reading someone’s rant about wanting to get into conversations about religion without being challenged about religion and their personal beliefs. That’s just not how conversations go???
#i think what really got to me was#just the sheer amount of notes#and the energy of “I’m just so upset that when I enter a hyper critical conversation ppl challenge me#it doesn’t matter WHAT religion you are#if you enter that kind of convo EXPECT to be challenged#the whole narrative of “every other religion gets respected perfectly besides mine: atheism#JUST DOESNT MAKE SENSE DUDE#RANT

Body Language Cheat Sheet For Writers
╰ Facial expressions
These are your micro-signals, like the blinking neon signs of the soul. But they’re small, quick, and often lie harder than words.
Raised eyebrows — This can mean surprise or disbelief, sure. But it can also be a full-on, silent “Are you serious right now?” when someone’s being ridiculous. Or even curiosity when someone’s too emotionally repressed to askthe damn question.
Furrowed brow — That face people make when they’re doing long division in their head or trying to emotionally process a compliment. It’s thinking, yes—but also confusion, deep frustration, or quiet simmering rage.
Smiling — Can be happiness… or total fake-it-till-you-make-it energy. Some smiles are stiff. Some don’t reach the eyes. Show that.
Frowning — Sure, sadness. But also: disappointment, judgment, or the universal “I’m about to say something blunt, brace yourself.”
Lip biting — It’s not just nervousness, it’s pressure. Self-control. Anticipation. It’s the thing people do when they want to say something and decide, at the last second, not to.
╰ Eye movement
The window to the soul? Yeah. But also the window to when someone’s lying, flirting, or deeply trying not to cry in public.
Eye contact — Confidence or challenge. Eye contact can be gentle, curious, sharp like a blade. Sometimes it’s desperate: “Please understand me.”
Avoiding eye contact — Not always guilt. Sometimes it’s protectiveness. Sometimes it’s “I’m afraid if I look at you, you’ll see everything I’m trying to hide.”
Narrowed eyes — Calculating. Suspicious. The look someone gives when their brain’s saying “hmmm...” and it’s not a good hmm.
Wide eyes — Surprise, yes. But also sudden fear. The oh-God-it’s-happening look. Or when someone just found out they’re not as in control as they thought.
Eye roll — Classic. But try using it with tension, like when someone’s annoyed and trying very hard not to lose it in public.
╰ Gestures
This is where characters’ emotions go when their mouths are lying.
Crossing arms — Not just defensive. Sometimes it’s comfort. A self-hug. A barrier when the conversation is getting too personal.
Fidgeting — This is nervous energy with nowhere to go. Watch fingers tapping, rings spinning, sleeves tugged. It says: I’m not okay, but I’m trying not to show it.
Pointing — It’s a stab in the air. Aggressive, usually. But sometimes a desperate plea: Look. Understand this.
Open palms — Vulnerability. Honesty. Or a gesture that says, “I have nothing left to hide.”
Hand on chin — Not just thinking. It’s stalling. It’s delaying. It’s “I’m about to say something that might get me in trouble.”
╰ Posture and movement
These are your vibes. How someone occupies space says everything.
Slumped shoulders — Exhaustion. Defeat. Or someone trying to take up less space because they feel small.
Upright posture — Not always confidence. Sometimes it’s forced. Sometimes it’s a character trying really, really hard to look like they’re fine.
Pacing — Inner chaos externalized. Thinking so loudly it needs movement. Waiting for something. Running from your own thoughts.
Tapping foot — Tension. Irritation. Sometimes a buildup to an explosion.
Leaning in — Intimacy. Interest. Or subtle manipulation. (You matter to me. I’m listening. Let’s get closer.)
╰ Touch
This is intimacy in all its forms, comforting, protective, romantic, or invasive.
Hugging — Doesn’t always mean closeness. Could be a goodbye. Could be an apology they can’t say out loud. Could be awkward as hell.
Handshake — Stiff or crushing or slippery. How someone shakes hands says more than their words do.
Back patting — Casual warmth. Bro culture. Awkward emotional support when someone doesn’t know how to comfort but wants to try.
Clenched fists — Holding something in. Rage, tears, restraint. Fists mean tension that needs somewhere to go.
Hair tuck — Sure, flirtation or nerves. But also a subtle shield. A way to hide. A habit from childhood when someone didn’t want to be seen.
╰ Mirroring:
If two characters start syncing their body language, something is happening. Empathy. Chemistry. Shared grief. If someone shifts their body when the other does? Take notice. Other human bits that say everything without words...
Nodding — Not just yes. Could be an “I hear you,” even if they don’t agree. Could be the “keep going” nod. Could be patronizing if done too slow.
Crossed legs — Chill. Casual. Or closed-off, depending on context. Especially if their arms are crossed too.
Finger tapping — Time is ticking. Brain is pacing. Something’s coming.
Hand to chest — Sincerity, yes. But also shock. Or grounding—a subconscious attempt to stay present when everything feels like too much.
Tilting the head — Curiosity. Playfulness. Or someone listening so hard they forget to hide it.
Temple rub — “I can’t deal.” Could be physical pain. Could be stress. Could be emotional overload in disguise.
Chin stroking — Your classic “I’m judging you politely.” Often used in arguments between characters pretending to be calm.
Hands behind the back — Authority. Control. Or rigid fear masked as control.
Leaning body — This is the body betraying the brain. A tilt toward someone means they care—even if their words are cold.
Nail biting — Classic anxiety. But also habit. Something learned. Sometimes people bite because that’s how they self-soothe.
Squinting — Focusing. Doubting. Suspicion without confrontation.
Shifting weight — Uncomfortable. Unsure. Someone who wants to leave but doesn’t.
Covering the mouth — Guilt. Hesitation. The “should I say this?” moment before something big drops.
Body language is more honest than dialogue. If you really want to show your character’s internal world, don’t just give them lines. Give them a hand that won’t stop shaking. Give them a foot that won’t stop bouncing. Give them a mouth that smiles when their eyes don’t. And if you’re not sure what your character would do in a moment of fear, or love, or heartbreak, try acting it out yourself. Seriously. Get weird. Feel what your body does. Then write that down.
