New Scissor with Cable Tie ?

Well, talk about an unexpected twist! After buying what you thought was a new scissor, you were lured in by its appealing blue color. But wait for it — when you brought it home and eagerly tried to open it, lo and behold, it turned out to be a cable tie lock!

Now, here’s the kicker — you don’t have any other scissors lying around! Oh dear, why does life play these pranks on us? You went ahead and got another pair of scissors, but guess what? You’re still stuck in a pickle! How on earth do you open this cable tie without any scissors? It’s like the dramatic climax of a story unfolding right in front of you.

To make matters worse, you don’t even have a cutter or knife to rescue you from this cable tie entanglement. Buying one seems like a hassle, and the frustration is real — oh my gosh!

Take a deep breath — stay calm! Maybe this whole situation is a sign, and this guy is meant to be attached to that piece of paper with the cable tie. And just so you know, those scissors you saw earlier aren’t even yours! So, no need to stress over scissors you don’t even have. Life sure knows how to keep things interesting!

Ah, the paradox — some readers might say, “You’re out of luck,” while others will cheer, “Good luck in the future!”

But fear not, for I’m here to help! Let’s simulate it in our minds and explore other tools that could set you free from this scissor’s grasp. Time is of the essence, and I urgently need your brilliant ideas before you delve further into the reading. Think fast, think smart, and let’s break free from this drama together! 🤔

Ah, the tale of being “locked” in life’s quirks! Picture this: you’ve built a life with a career, niche industry, a successful business, a loving partner, and even a bundle of joy on the way. But there comes a moment when everything seems stagnant, and you realize you chose this path, and somehow, circumstances have locked you in.

It’s like two cable ties holding you in place, making it impossible to move or break free. Oh, the irony — the very tool that could liberate you, the bluish scissor, is out of reach! If only you had a knife or cutter from the start to set yourself free and embrace the opportunities that await you for a lifetime.

In this operatic drama, four characters are entwined — the cable tie claims innocence, merely doing its job, not the one who bound the scissor. The scissor, feeling like a victim of its environment, seeks help to escape the confines. Meanwhile, the paper observes it all, trying to explain the scissor’s purpose, knowing that if it were set loose, it might just cut its ties with the paper!

It’s a curious dance of fate and circumstance, and you find yourself pondering how to open this puzzle and unlock your full potential. A humorous yet profound metaphor for the twists and turns of life, where objects and circumstances play their roles in this intriguing drama of choices and opportunities.

Paper
Tie
Victim

Ah, this drama unfolds with four meaningful lessons worth taking to heart:

Lesson 1: The scissors symbolize your skills, talents, experiences, and abilities.

Lesson 2: The tie embodies policies, authorities, and things beyond our control, leaving us bewildered by the chaos of the world.

Lesson 3: The paper represents your current life path, your choices, and the acceptance of where you find yourself.

Lesson 4: As a fellow human, I’m your friend, mentor, and caring observer, but ultimately, it’s up to you to change your mindset and life.

Now, let’s unlock the scissor’s potential. First, identify your purpose and life’s reason. Embrace being a “scissor” and don’t let others or circumstances hold you back. Avoid playing the victim and take control of what you can. Acknowledge the gap between the cable tie and scissor edge — there’s room to maneuver.

While the scissor may not have a soul or brain, the bigger question is, do you? Why let commitments or material possessions lock you into a future you may not want? Take a moment to ponder that. Don’t expect divine intervention — you hold the key to your own freedom.

When you have control, you can evade or break free from being locked down. Know your potential, understand your environment, and make choices accordingly. Even when things seem out of your control, there’s still a chance to take action and tackle the challenges head-on. It all boils down to your mindset and determination to carve your path in this unpredictable world.

Nando’s Theory

Yea above is my theory — kind of random, bruteforce didnt follow any conventional way to define the diagram (like if the condition supposed to be diamond, or this

Much like Dr. Strange, I craft my own theories based on the observations around me. Imagine entering a circle called “locked” where your past story traps you in a limbo state — endlessly thinking, staying, and sometimes enjoying until a major event shakes things up, pushing you to move on to a new phase of life.

Let’s revisit the scissor story. Like that scissor hanging in the supermarket until someone buys it, you might find yourself stuck in V1 of your life path until a major catalyst occurs, propelling you forward.

Now, the intriguing part — when transitioning from past to present, the past tense continuously lingers. You tend to bring your past experiences into the present and use your understanding of the universe to justify why things should unfold just like they did before. That’s when the “aha” moment strikes — you realize it’s all connected to your journey.

As you shift to another state of life, time also shifts — now you’re in present V2. The loop begins again, and you plan your future accordingly, but guess what? The universe loves to toss your plans into the garbage bin! So, off you go to future V3, pondering the age-old question of “why did I choose this path?”

But hold on, instead of asking “why,” consider “how.” The majority of transitions happen when circumstances are beyond your control, and vice versa. Embrace the flow of life, and in this dance between past, present, and future, you’ll discover the wonders of growth and self-discovery.

When something happens, it affects what we decide to do next. This is like how different paths are created in a video game when you make different choices. But even if we don’t make a choice, things will still happen and create new paths.

Limbo state a place or state of being held or forgotten. : a middle place or state. limbo. 2 of 2 noun. : a dance or contest that involves bending backward and passing under a horizontal pole.

Picture this intriguing scenario — you possess the power to enter an alternate reality, but choosing not to will temporarily leave you in limbo, lingering between worlds until you decide to return to the present reality.

It’s fascinating, almost like exploring computer programs, where gray zones challenge detection. The boundary of sanity isn’t just a simple binary 1 or 0; it’s like Schrodinger’s experiment, where possibilities exist in a superposition.

In this enigmatic state, one can’t help but wonder — what if reality itself is like Schrodinger’s cat, existing in multiple states until observed? The line between what’s real and what’s not blurs, offering a glimpse into the mysteries of the mind and the universe.

So, the choice lies before you — to dive into an alternate reality, embrace the uncertainty, and wander between possibilities, or to stay anchored in the present reality, awaiting your next move. The realm of endless potentials awaits, and the journey to unlock the secrets of existence is yours to embark upon.

Schrödinger’s cat

In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment that illustrates a paradox of quantum superposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical cat may be considered simultaneously both alive and dead, while it is unobserved in a closed box, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. This thought experiment was devised by physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935[1] in a discussion with Albert Einstein[2] to illustrate what Schrödinger saw as the problems of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Now that we’ve journeyed through these extensive explanations, let’s sum it up, shall we? Identifying your potential is key — don’t let others or even yourself lock your future. Embrace your inner passion and skillset; a bird with wings won’t stay perched forever.

Even if you find yourself locked, fear not — there are still countless chances for liberation. Empower yourself and shed all attachments to break free from the constraints.

The existence of multiple parallel universes of life hinges on your willingness to explore them. My research is ongoing, and I’ll let you know if my theory holds true — whether someone can exist in two states simultaneously, pondering both present V1 and V2 concurrently, not independently. As you move on to new possibilities, the past will always be part of your journey — past lives you can’t escape.

Remember, the past doesn’t dictate the future — you hold the reins of your destiny. Your choices, decisions, and conclusions shape the path ahead.

This article reflects my curious perception of the world, and people still wonder how the scissor fate unfolds. Well, the answer lies in external factors or the scissor itself. Perhaps humans will find a way to open the cable tie, even if it means burning the paper — talk about an overkill solution! But hey, if the scissor could move on its own, it could cut the tie using its edge. Clever, right? 😄

Good night, dear reader — I hope my theory hasn’t driven you mad. Stay tuned for the next episode — see you soon!
