The Philosophy behind the cranes

How to make a paper crane

It was said “Make 1000 cranes and your wish would come true”

Actually, after attempting, and stopping at 500 cranes, I realized how wise the person who made this statement is.

1. As you make the cranes, this gives you time to think, thinking about your wish, is this what you really want? it gives you time to think over the good and bad side of whatever you wished, in other words, it slow you down.

2. If you do make 1000 cranes, as I had tried, it had taken weeks… either you are not interested in what you wished for or you just plain don’t care anymore
3. By the time you do make 1000 cranes, you ‘wish’ had already happened or whatever result had came.

4. As I made the cranes, I realized the more I made, the more my ‘wish’ became to drown out and different ‘wishes’ or different versions of the ‘original wish’ arise. Does this mean I have to start again from the beginning now that my original wish and desires have changed?

This person is so smart, period.
