4. We boil at different degrees.
In this quote he is stating that every person has a different limit to where they will get angry. Some people can handle stress longer and stay calm, therefore they have a higher boiling point, the boiling point being the time when they get angry. Other people, every little thing gets them mad, so they have a lower boiling point, meaning that it takes less for that person to get angry then another person with a higher boiling point. I think that he is very on point with this aphorism. I agree with the fact that some people are angry people in general, and every little thing may make them angry or upset. I think he is trying to say that we need to be aware of other people’s boiling points before we say something that may cause them to go over the edge and explode.
9. What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not been discovered.
He is saying that people judge the things that they do not know. They name it something that might not describe it just because they don’t know its true function. This relates a lot to humans to the way that they may judge a person solely on looks and not what is inside. The judgment may be that the person is worthless, which is untrue, and the reason they are judging like so is because they don’t know that’s on the inside and what that person has to give to the world. I agree with this statement and I think that we, as humans, judge people more than we should. I think we should take the time to get to know someone before we start thinking and judging them.
13. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
He is saying that life is about trying new things and having new experiences. We need to try things out and experiment to see if they work and if they are fun. He is saying that the more you put yourself out there and try new things, the more fun and successful life you will have. Also he is saying that if you just sit there and hide, only doing the things that you have done forever, your life will most likely be boring. I fully agree with this in the fact that I believe in trying new things. I think that you can’t really know if you like something or not until you try it out for yourself. You cannot rely on the opinions of others to tell you what you do and do not like. I also believe that we have to put ourselves out there, and try things that might be scary because it may end up as something that could change your life for the good. I think that a person should live life without the regret of not doing something because they were scared, and wondering what would have had happened if they had put themselves out there and tried something that may have been scary.
