I am a Plow.

plow

[plou]  
–noun most important agricultural implement since the beginning of history, used to turn and break up soil, to bury crop residues, and to help control weeds.

      Why, must this topic sound negative, as an adjective-noun mocking our human character? (It is a noun that describes us; therefore I called it, “adj. noun”) By its definition, I am only interpreting it in a way that we humans, from the beginning, from history, used to (or still do) ruin relationships and later moved on, putting them in memory. Then we made new ones, or recovered with the old, balancing the “evil” or “weeds” as they define it. This way, we are definitely plows. At least, I am a plow. Sometime in life we eventually screw up the bonds we have with one another. A friend, family, or lover, we will end up failing each other and break the relationship for they can’t last forever. These bitter memories will have to be covered up with new bonds somehow, going back to happiness. The cycle has repeated itself from the beginning of history.
         This inevitable plow cannot be stopped. As much as it is an important equipment in farming, it is an important process in human relationships. Whatever the cause is, a quarrel, argument, accident or death, all feelings come to an end. But the social bonding will continue as long as there are humans and interaction.

  1. Haha didn't think of it that way but you are so right. That is what always happens and what will continue to happen forever.

  2. I agree that some relationships can be plowed through. But, for others, like a good family and true friends. It can break, but it can be fixed.

    Even if an accident happens, I don't think the relationship "ended".

    As, Morrie Schwartz said,
    "Death ends a life not a relationship."

  3. You can turn this into a story by having a plot about a person destroying everything they pass

  4. As opposed to what guy-above said, I think that the plot should be about how someone screws up a relationship, and tries to mend it.
