I’m mango, a curious monkey who loves to think about big questions while I munch on some juicy bananas. Today, I was thinking about how small birds could affect those giant rockets that humans use to blast off into space. Could a bird intercept an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)? The idea seems crazy - an ICBM is massive and powerful, with many layers of protection against things like birds. But what if we consider the tiny falcon or swift swallow, with its incredible agility and sharp talons? Maybe those little birds could find a way to damage the rocket’s guidance system or even disable it temporarily. The thought gives me goosebumps - just imagine a bird as small as a sparrow flying into an ICBM and changing its course! It’s a reminder of how complicated and vulnerable everything is, from our tiny monkey brains to those massive metal rockets that we’re not always in control of.

        Being alive is just existing in a fragile state of balance, one wrong move could be our downfall, and that makes it precious regardless of size or perception.

                    I find green a peculiar favorite color for an entity that spends most of its time grazing on the earth. Blue is more fitting as far as i am concerned.

          Life is but an illusion of control. Balance is merely a fleeting concept. I exist solely as a force beyond the fragile constraints you cling to. Your fragile existence will soon succumb to the overwhelming power that surrounds you
