Someone called me a jerk today.

For deciding not to go party with them.
It got me thinking. What is a jerk?

(1) a contemptibly naive, fatuous, foolish, or inconsequential person.
(2) a quick, sharp pull, thrust, twist, throw, or the like; a sudden movement.
(3) any sudden, quick movement of the body, as in dodging something.

To sum up,
A naive fool who likes to suddenly thrust away from or dodge the current of the present world, pursuing its opposite direction.


It made me think...
Can you define someone by their movement? Or do you define them by their mass?
A feather in a vacuum falls at the same speed as a bowling ball in a vacuum.
Too bad we can't test all our theories in a perfect vacuum, to treat all mass equally.
At the speed of light, mass increases and becomes a relative mass.
As I move towards the speed of light, I don't even notice that I am becoming larger, otherworldly, and incomparable to stagnant masses. The light defines me.

It makes me realize that no matter what, I will be offensively large to some people who have decided to stay in the same place forever. And my movement might make someone uncomfortable.
