Random thoughts -- Elements

some people believe that our world and life itself is sustained by and revolves around the four elements, namely, Earth, Wind, Fire, & Water.

While the orientals are a little more detailed, classifying them into jing, mu, shui, huo, tu. Which literally means metal, wood, water, fire, earth.

I'm not gonna delve into all the different ancient beliefs and the balance, and what they all represent. Because I know nothing about this subject.

But I would like to, by using these elements, try to describe in brief our character. Don't take it as the absolute fact. Because I don't think I can even safely say that I know myself well. But we're getting there.

She

Earth - rich, damp soil, giving life.
Wind - a typhoon, or tornado. Fast and furious, sweeping you off your feet. Dies off quickly.
Fire - a bonfire, where people will naturally want to gather 'round to seek warmth. Goes down in a blaze of glory.
Water - Like the rain, can be un-predictable at times. Refreshing & fun.
Metal - mercury/quicksilver. Unstable, not able to stay still or focused in its form.

He

Earth - concrete. Cold & calculated, but always a firm foundation for you to stand on.
Wind - a quiet, gentle breeze. You won't notice its there, but it is.
Fire - a single candle in a dark room.
Water - the ocean. Holds alot, deep. Looks still. But fully capable of the occasional tidal waves and raging storms.
Metal - Lead. Heavy, dense, stable, boring.

Of course, I could be wrong. Comments?
