Zipper

When unpacking the travel bag we used while traveling with family at the end of last week, I was inspired by that unique object. I don’t know who the real inventor is, whether Elias Howe, Whitcomb L. Judson, or his son-in-law, Otto Fredrik Gideon Sundback, for sure, that stuff is very useful.

With various design and material updates, today’s zippers have become very important and often even inspire various fashion models. The strength of objects to close and resist pressure, both from inside and outside is also extraordinary. I can imagine how difficult it would be if the bag had to be covered with buttons or tied with a rope, even I had difficulty to buttoning one of my jeans and was rather sorry to have bought that model because it was impractical. Buttons remain important and needed but zipper also has their own role.

When I look at two pieces of cloth, each of which is placed on one side and then connected to tens or hundreds of metal or plastic teeth, which to close or open using a zipper head, or slider, or puller, such as seeing how a form of intelligence can combine, or reunite humans from their two main parts, which are visible and invisible, which are more easily measured and difficult to measure, which can be recognized and difficult to recognize, mentally and spiritually. Then what kind of intelligence or something can do it, which can unite the two (even though it is actually inseparable in a person) so that humans are better able to take full advantage of themselves, at least for Earth as a better place to live?

I’ve also reminded of an article that analogizes a notice about zipper jeans that are open like a criticism. Something that reminds us to improve our situation and not to get angry instead. I just experienced this one, for the second time in Virily, when a new friend here downvoted my post without any comments as other friends also often upvote without any comments. Thank you, for I was reminded to close my zipper.
