Hi Hive Lovers
Iron is created with strong properties and has a hard texture. But it can be shaped into anything desired. He can adapt and change himself according to the circumstances that befall him. It will melt when burned and will bend when heated, so it can be easily formed into anything, and once formed, its function and use will change. Like this cutting tool.
Iron will not be damaged by water, air, or other causes. It will be damaged and destroyed because only when it reacts with water and air. That will only happen if the iron is left lying around or has never been used, not cared for, or not taken care of properly. Iron is self-destructive, and rusty because it is allowed to react with the negative elements of water, air, and other substances. It is damaged because it is not utilized for its potential use.
So are we as humans. No matter how hard a person's character is, he can be shaped and adapted according to the experiences he experiences. A person will learn from his life experience to be better and more useful for his own life and also for the lives of those around him. The more often someone does something well and right, the best potential will continue to come out and be honed well.
Like iron, so is a man. A person will be corrupted and become useless by his own negative nature. So, a person must be able to fortify himself from elements that damage the strength of his character and potential.
We must not react to elements that harm us, either negative traits from within us or negative elements that come from our environment.
If in your body, in your mindset, or in your soul you still have negative elements, then your character and potential will be damaged and die. Therefore, instill in your mind and soul positive things and they will fortify you and keep you from negative reactions in your environment. If not, then you too will rust like iron.
I found this grinding wheel lying behind my house and I took this picture using macro mode on the camera of my Samsung A52 cell phone.
