Song: Sunny Day (Fujiki Kazue)
What if you could experience the same feeling each and every day?
What if you would have to?
Your life will have to be spent in sync with that feeling.
Every motivation, every action, and every thought...
Like a train that can only tread on its rail if it wants to move forward.

Thoughts: (Looking at H1N1 Pig News) Nodes
The entire universe is an abundances of materials or stuffs, just lying around.
Mostly, they just exist. Their purpose unknown, their existence possibly just the result of an accidental phenomenon. Well, perhaps not an accident, but we don't know.
Living things are like gathering points that appear.
They appear, then start to gather materials into themselves, making materials a part of their own body. Animals are mostly composed of carbon and water, and lesser amounts of other elements.
They accumulate these by breathing in gases, taking in solid materials as food, or drinking fluids.
some of these materials get retained in their bodies and they grow. The rest gets expelled back into the environment.
Living things also move materials around through the result of their behavior and desires.
Beavers gather small pieces of wood and twigs to build their homes. Elephants gather at the elephant graveyard to die. Bees gather pollens to produce honey.
Obviously the living thing on Earth that has caused the greatest movement to materials around here is us: human beings. We move resources around the most due to 2 reasons.
1) We probably have the largest total mass on Earth physically.
2) We have the greatest ability and desire to move materials around.
I'd like to identify these existences on living things as 'nodes'.
These nodes have the ability to accumulate and affect the movement of materials in the universe.
Some of these nodes have the ability to function in a coordinated manner to shift materials around. Creatures such as ants functions in groups and different ants carry out different specific functions in their swarm, allowing the entire nest to function smoothly as a combined whole, even if it means that the individual ant needs to sacrifice itself for the betterment of the entire nest.
Some of these nodes can even function in more complex manners.
Again, back to human beings. We are able to create giant entities called organizations to coordinate the movement of materials around. You'll understand what I mean when you see the development of a shipping company, or bank corporations. Goods and money gets stored and shifted around.
Bringing it to another level, these huge entities can, also coordinate with each other for mutual benefits, leading to better movement of materials on a national or international level. We see this in shipping and finance industries.
Humans, though being nodes themselves can also affect other lesser nodes.
We herd animals together to harvest what they produce, or kill them for resources.
Simply put, we have to ability to control other nodes. We can push them to extinction, or prevent so. Kill them or breed them. Gather them together or shift them around geographically. We can even create them or alter them.
