Among a veritable multitude of useful informational nuggets, in Physics we learn of many mechanical advantages… My favorite is the fulcrum. In some form or another the adjusted application of work (including all vacillating combinations of force over distance [potential and kinetic] and energy [a form of work usually representing heat, electrical or some other atomic/subatomic particle transition] in a mechanically manifested sense utilizes some type of fulcrum in the process.

Ultimately, for fulcrums to work (no pun intended… although I do believe most people do intend their puns), matter has to “stay together” (at least in the mechanism [even in a gravitational sense]).

Aside from plunging into an investigation of the substance of matter, the beauty of fulcrums is their ability to allow one to invent, maximize outcomes, realize dreams and make new realities. Technology in all its forms is an incidental ongoing product and contributor of such… Mankind’s history is rife with it.

|People| and/or |situations| = fulcrum?… The world being replete with emblematic representations of wrought material bound by some unseen (but, irrefutably evident) established framework of physical laws, such a wonderful “mechanism” appears to transcend the physical (at least in my mind) into interpersonal relationships inclusive of associated social situations. You and I have seen, benefited from and/or suffered as a result of it many times – people of great and small alike finding the “fulcrum” and leveraging efforts; maximizing outcomes.

… A “life fulcrum.” Now that’s what’s needed…

A remote?.. No…

A megaphone?.. Maybe to inform those in a certain developed European country that deodorant is cheap and is quite effective at sparing others from inhaling bodily vapors causing the core of ones soul to vomit… Nah…

A thing?.. Possibly for a time, but fulfillment would wane…

A loved one?.. Is there love in doing so?..

A willing Subject?.. Hmmmm….

A tree?
