An octopus can weigh up to 70 pounds. After some conversion, that’s nearly 32 kilograms.
How much does 32 kilograms weigh? Let me tell you: it is equivalent to 3/5 of a pack of cement, an electric treadmill, a Dujiangyan Millennium Turtle, or the weight of a young player in the youth group of a judo competition.
However, for such a big guy, its body is very soft. It is so soft that it can stuff itself almost anywhere it wants to go. Because they have no spine, they can even fit through a hole the size of a silver coin. What they like to do most is to stuff their bodies into conch shells and hide. When fish and shrimps come close, they bite their heads, inject venom into them, paralyze them to death, and then have a delicious meal.
It is almost one of the most terrifying creatures in the ocean.
However, fishermen have ways to subdue it. They string the small bottles together with ropes and sink them to the bottom of the sea. When the octopuses see the small bottles, they all rush to get in, no matter how small or narrow the bottle is.
The result is of course that the invincible octopus in the ocean finally became a prisoner in the bottle. What imprisons the octopus? Is it a bottle? No, if the bottle is placed in the sea, the bottle will not walk, let alone actively capture it.
It is the octopuses themselves who imprison them. They walk farther and farther toward the narrowest road, no matter how dark it is, even if it is a dead end.
If our mind is also like an octopus, when encountering a bottle of distress, boredom, frustration, or temptation, please pay attention to slow down and go around. There is more to fight for in the wider ocean.
If we keep squeezing into the bottle, our thoughts will become more and more narrow and lose their brightness.
The clever octopus is used to hiding in conch shells to hunt fish and shrimps, and has also set itself into a routine, scrambling to get into small and narrow bottles to imprison itself. Drilling into bottles is the patent of octopuses, and drilling into horns is the patent of certain people. When you are troubled, troubled, or frustrated, please slow down and go around, or simply break the bottle.
