"A chain is not stronger than it's weakest link."

Well, here I come with my first blog. Someone who reads this might think, what a ridiculous topic to start with but that is what I am all about. The whole concept of blogging never went down well with me until recently when somebody made me realize that it took me an hour to write a simple letter. And when I started thinking about it my friend came up with the whole blogging thing.
A chain or a concatenation of things or particles or emotions or anything which can be linked is said to be made of different links or components. When someone looks at it from a distance a chain has either strong links or weak links but a deep study contradicts the former as it proves that every link has its own importance in the concept of chain. To give an example we can say that a dozen represents 12 things grouped together. So, if a fruit vendor sells a dozen mangoes with one of it rotten ( which is the weakest link) is going to make the consumer reluctant to buy the next time. But that mango on a very abstract note has its own importance in the formation of the term "Dozen" whithout which it would be eleven. Some may argue it could be easily replaced
and so it has no relevance and no utility to the consumer and also the rotten mango is an headache to the vendor. Which led me to think that such a mango would contribute to becoming a tree ( mango has its seed within) or act as a fertilizer. Again it can be argued that this argument is redundant but such small useless things contribute in a silent way to form the earth.
A rotten mango, a lunatic monkey too is a very important element forming the chain called earth.

So the moral is that there is no weak link or a strong link but every damn thing has its own importance and it abscence breaks the chain. Again very annoying thought to explain... phew...
The words weak and strong are coined by the hollow people who think a lot about themselves. Sachin is said to be the strongest batsman but every single batsman in the team contributes. The player with the least score is termed weak. But is it true the extra run had its own importance and so we cannot undermine its contribution. Without which the win would be impossible ( very hypothetical but true if you give it a thought).

I will surely come up with a more organised blog or simply an organised blog :P on this topic because now when i read I feel i need to organise it ...
