Jung Hee-jin's Convergence Tomato Salad

20201110, One opposite of convergence is grand theory. A self built on grand theory insists it can explain everything. But what a batter stepping into the strike zone actually needs to know isn't 'the history of world professional baseball' — it's the opposing pitcher's throwing pattern, his expression, the pitch he just threw. Life is a string of small units just like that. Related sayings: 'God is in the details,' 'live in the present,' 'situation,' 'context.' (Jung Hee-jin, The Human World Is Small: The Strike Zone) #JungHeeJin #convergence Considering that the original meaning of #CarpeDiem leans less toward 'try hard' and more toward 'enjoy the moment,' and that today's patience and sacrifice never guarantee a rosy future anyway, it seems better to put effort into the small, moment-to-moment 'present me' rather than clinging to some grand past-and-future self. (Honestly, that's what I'm already doing.) In the end, maybe the 'present me' is simply the sum of the past me and the future me — the one carrying my hopes for what's ahead. Lay down the big tomatoes, then top with the small ones. A little olive oil and balsamic, plus parsley and pepper for a different kind of flavor #tomatosalad #breakfast #morningmeal #salad #breakfast #salad #tomatosalad
