Building a Model Airplane
(pic from New Deal Network)
Since the age of 13, my friend and I get together every 2 years or so and build a model airplane. Every time, without exception, after carefully building it, we smash it to pieces and part ways for a couple of years. I’m not sure why we keep smashing it, but we do. We both know we’re going to smash it when we’re done and yet we keep building it conscientiously. Somehow, we keep crossing paths and go through the same pattern. I suppose history does repeat itself.
In June, it was about that time (~2 years had passed), so we got together to build our model airplane. This time however, something different happened: this time, maybe we both thought we could appreciate the final model itself rather than the challenge of building it. This time, we even took it a step further and carefully painted it. This time, before we could smash it, the airplane took off at 06:07 this morning.
Now I wonder: if it hadn’t left, would we have smashed it again? When it comes back (and I’m pretty sure it will), will we want to keep working on it? Who knows? Either way, it’s always fun and only time will tell how this will play out…
