Wings can be a problem if we don’t fly. The queen ant has wings that worker ants don’t have. A queen’s wings are only used once in her life when she flies to mate. After mating, she lands and bites off her wings. In underground life, wings are just an annoyance. We keep many things even when we don’t need them. There are also times we hold onto useless things and thoughts, even knowing they serve no purpose. That’s not smart. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The reason pencils can be writing instruments is due to pencil lead. The material used for pencil lead is graphite. The graphite element is carbon (C), and four carbon atoms are combined. One carbon atom can have four bonds and can combine with another element. Diamond is similar to graphite, with four carbon atoms. However, diamonds have four carbon bonds that create a strong covalent bond with other carbon atoms, while graphite has only one weak bond. We can write or draw with a pencil because of this loose combination. When you apply pressure to the pencil with your finger, this weak bond in graphite breaks, leaving some of the crystals damaged. Don’t view it merely as a pencil; it’s a diamond’s cousin. The degree of consanguinity is very, very close. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
