Humans bear resemblance to the unyielding solids and carry a trace of the fickle gases, but, primarily, take after a state of liquid. Thus, punching fists into our core is no more effective than dealing blows to a pond and expecting the dent to stay in place— the molecules assume the complacency of still waters on an unbroken surface. I don’t have the energy to evolve into the next phase of matter, nor the resolve to be tightly packed as the atoms of a plastered wall. Your words are but a blow to the water, enough to open a hole for just so long.
