What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? That is an age-old question. The question remains adroitly oriented - with both the unstoppable force and the immovable object having become analogous to each other. Much like the relationship between a ruler and his subjects as analogous to that of father and children. Folks, it's like Thanos versus Everybody else at MCU. Hell, even in the movie
The Dark Knight when the eponymous character throws caution and circumspect to the wind as he does battle, before delving into conversation, with the always antagonistic Joker. The latter makes mention of said unstoppable force meeting an immovable object and adds that their conflict is "destined to last forever."
The Dark Knight is told that he has too much misplaced self-righteousness to kill the Joker, and the Joker admits that he has way too much fun taunting the Dark Knight to kill him. Their views about being locked up in a padded cell are almost tantamount except the Dark Knight says that the Joker belongs in one and the Joker agrees but adds that they both belong in a padded cell. Truth reigns supreme most often, but not so much in the unstoppable force meeting an immovable object adage. It's still quite perplexing and paradoxical; to me, that is, especially when incorporating Newton’s 2nd Law, which states that Acceleration is equal to Force divided by Mass (A=F/M). Um, no!
Hey, this should not rely on math or require scientific proof.
All I really know is that when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object and causes stagnation, one of the variables must be eradicated or dismissed. There is no room in this person's life for stagnation. Sometimes I think that my exigent need to please others is the immovable object; however, my will to succeed in things I really want is the unstoppable force. Example in hand: I currently have a research project due for a committee I am heading up, but spending time with loved ones is important because of the holidays. The project is the unstoppable force but my loved ones are the immovable object. The project is going to have to wait, right? The object will redirect the force. But, don't tell Newton or the ones who study this stuff 24/7, 365. It's lame, I know. Stupid Jokes 'r' Us.
To my defense of being lame, we are working with a light staff this week at the university, so it's kind of boring around here. Plus, the majority of our students have already gone home for Thanksgiving. Most of us in the division are telecommuting tomorrow since we're only required to work a half day. There's no use, especially for those of us who drive in from Midland, to come in for just four hours. I might use my comp time today to go home early today, which is doubtful because I need to make progress on the research project.
