Domino Stones

Domino Stones

Domino effect is a kind of chain reaction that occurs when an event already occurred leads another event to start. Such events happen in human life at certain times that even a tiny detail can gain a great sense.

One fine day people of Leenwar province in Netherlands got together and tried to break a world record, building dominoes in a row. They built 23 thousand pieces of domino stones. Just then, a sparrow flew into building and land on several domino bricks. The wave triggered by sparrow eventually caused all of the bricks to fall, starting from one end to the other within seconds with the domino effect. Consequently, they failed to break the record. Moreover, what is weird is that a man from the crowd suddenly pulls his gun, shoots the sparrow and kills it in front of everybody’s eyes!

We virtually have numerous good deeds and beauties fleeting away from our lives, just like domino bricks, which toppled, and the sparrow, which was killed. Especially in big cities, most people’s daily life is going pretty fast and intense. Therefore, we cannot even realize that these beauties are unfortunately fleeting away like a flying balloon…

Years we spend during our lifetime probably have a close affinity with the domino stones. In fact, we are building 365 pieces of domino stones consciously or unconsciously every year. However, if we consider that even a sparrow can easily break down all of them; we need to pay more attention to certain values, which we labored for decades. Because watching all stones, which we had already built meticulously toppling by one by will definitely cause great pain in our hearts…

According to some people, life is simply an effort to give a meaning to inexpressiveness. Everybody is installing a sense on life with his or her own way and perhaps is building all his or her life on it. Therefore, the shorter and the more concise we keep the meanings, the longer we make the part of life worth living.
