Inertia 2

On the imaginary side of my brain, there's a picture of a copper coin. One side of this coin is about nothing, does nothing, and will never become anything more than it already is. Even if in a mobilized state, it will invariably remain in a straight line. Let's call it 'tails'. The 'tails' side will remain in a nothing state. It will never change in value nor usefulness. The other side of this coin is about something. Let's call it 'heads'. It will activate or mobilize only if some foreign force interacts with it. Moreover, the 'heads' side has the capability of being spent for something in exchange, increasing in value, or being utilized for various purposes, simply because it can interact and become sensitive to other entities. By definition, both sides would be 'inertia'. Perhaps you and I have met both types of people. That is, 'heads' people(the changeable) and 'tails' people(the unchangeable). 031420PoSp
