To start off we say nut shell but then again the shell is a bit too small so not exactly the big idea fitting into one, and then cracking it open after that.
Start with a small thought and make it a big idea in the end as it goes on is something that as we get, we progressively grow it larger and larger. Say for example you have an idea of playing with a matchstick. Just lighting it alone will give you a small light for a few seconds and then it dies out later when the fuel on it runs out. However if you think about it, that’s just used as a starter, ignition for something bigger. So add on some gasoline and you have a fire or some dried twigs and a pile of wood and you have a camp fire.
So to start off, we have some lighter fluid and then a pile of wood, so that makes for a camp fire, add the stones around the thing and you have a controlled fire. Good to keep on cooking the food or catch of the day. So in a sense to keep it going you have to keep feeding the wood to the fire to get it fueled for. So like a business, keep the supplies coming in and people will be buying up what to use.
Now lets say you want something larger, an idea that takes the world by storm. So put the wood or the fluid/gasoline, lets say on a meadow, light the match and watch the whole place go up in flames, controlled farming or rather active re-generation for the plants like a bush fire. In a way it’s like you have something that is attention grabbing and takes people off their chairs and they are like, hey i gotta have one. The ipod was something like that, everybody had to have one, a music player small and light and you can take it wherever you go around with your music on the go and not have to worry about it. Overshadowing Sony’s walkman when it came out, snapped up more people who used it instead. The brand is here to stay.
So burning a meadow, when the grass goes out, that’s the end but hey, how about setting the forest on fire instead? Now that sounds like a war to me. Destroying lives instead to make something out of it. So crime starts here where arsonists start burning things down, buildings get blown up, towns are razed to the ground. A flaming inferno of a land which takes lives. Well it we technically used it in a positive way then it would be like nuclear energy, everybody revolutionised to a new method of energy for the planet.
Last of all, of the idea is something like a towering inferno, now a building burning and smoldering would be the best description. In a way the idea this time has become a message to people rather than to destroy or impact it becomes something of an influence. Karl Marx had an interesting idea of Utopia but he never did say it would come to fulfillment without the conditions being met. In addition human desires were not part of it the idea at all. So things like the communist bloc that took place sparked a new generation of people believing that they were all equal in terms of access to food and facilities when actually the greed in our human nature moves on to take more for our own than share it out among the people.
At the end of the day its all just a single matchstick that can start something if given the right conditions for something bigger to happen. After all in the end, we’re just still lighting matches and letting them die out so if you got a match don’t light it till you think you’re gonna use it for something bigger, other than that, it’s just probably for you to play around while you are bored.
