cup stacking. fun activity to pass the time or a gateway to the realization of Something bigger? examining the latter, since the first idea presented lacks imagination and meaning...and this creative writing, after all, so why not go deep into sybolism and philosophy?
the pyramids created during the excercise of cup stacking symbolize society itself; there is a foundation that must be laid before any other levels or branches of society are built upon it. break the foundation of said pyramid and the entire thing comes crashing down. same goes for society...attack what grounds it and it will crumble. and what is the foundation of society? one may be wondering. it is my belief that what establishes a culture or a civilization can be a number of things. the first possibility being religion. a weekly gathering of a community of people to worship their common denominator; God. or whatever higher being it is that the community instills their faith in. under this higher being, the community strives to live by the rules that their religion sets forth. for christians, laws of life can be found in the Bible, for muslims, the Koran, and so and so forth. this unites them and presents a similar mindset for the society that they exist in.
