Blowing Soap Bubbles

I work as a security guard and when I get to work alone somewhere with only some equipment to secure, no boss around, no supervisor, I take my soap bubbles and blow them.
I like seeing them fly randomly, every bubble has it's own way in the air (even if the general direction depends on the wind).
I see that the chance for the bubbles to survive and get farther, is if I climb high, and blow them from a higher platform. They have more way to fall down, they have more wind there, so the chance for them to fall on the ground is lower.
Plus, when a couple of bubbles stick to each other, one of them explodes, the other gets some of the soap leftovers, so it survives.
I can only suggest that if we want to do something, to achieve some goal, we better stick to each other and help each other, and we better start with the best conditions we can have. So the chance for us to fail is lower.
Everyone of us reflects his surroundings, if I grow up in a good place with kind people, the chance is higher for me to become one like that.
The bubbles reflect everything around them like a small crystal ball, we can see ourseles, we can see the surrounding (for like half of the view field) and we can also see through the bubbles, they are transparent.
Your take mylotters, what do you think about the bubbles, what do you think about our world, how can we make it better ?

It just popped up in my mind, because I see the bubbles are so beautiful and then they are just go away and explode. I think we can learn from them. There are things we can say about the bubbles as we can say about ourselves.
It is easier to see reflections on the bubbles from things that give light. They are reflected on the bubbles better, like a window, the sun. If you want beautiful bubbles, take care of the environment to have lights everywhere.
If someone grows up in a good environment, we can sometimes see exactly how he immitates others here and there. He learns from them, it's like a reflection.
Is there anything more you can say about the bubbles ?

@stringer321 bubbles always teach me how short rather temporary is every phase of life. They keep coming, popping with ups and down and soon go away.

@amitkokiladitya that is true. The bubbles need better conditions like cold weather, humidity, a little wind...that keeps them better.
So life is short and temporary, we can consider this to take things under proportion.
Being angry doesn't help.

You have put in a lot of thought into the fun of blowing bubbles.
We used to blow bubbles from those containers sold at fairs.
There is also a type of plant ,that if we break the stem, slide the skin a bit we can bliwbubbles from the sticky liquid inside

The bubbles are interesting me with their mistery way they float differently from each other. It's like every bubble has a story to tell.

@responsiveme ha ha ha, that's right.
I know deep inside me that there is a reason why we are all here, and what is life for.
I hope to find some answers that I will feel for real.

Thanks, I like thinking about our life from other things, simple things.
I like learning from many things. They have their principles we can learn a lot from.

@stringer321 You are right, we learn from very simple things.

I like the colors too, I guess that's how the light is broken when encountering the bubble.
Do you like transparency in human being (when one doesn't hide anything from anyone, he is simple, and all things he does, are clear to all). ?
Do you like the reflection in human behavior? (when one behaves like his environment, he becomes similar to what he saw, he behaves accordingly)

@JudyEv Yea, it prevents a lot of problem, and we can sometimes see a child immitates his parents style of talking, some faces expressions...

How I wish I could do the same in my workplace. 
When I was a kid back then I would usually make my own liquid soap mixed with some leaves from a plant which makes the solution more hardy when making bubbles. but the effect of it to you is like a zen mode for you that you are able to think about life and everything.

Thanks, I find it very relaxing, it helps the time fly away.
Do you think we can learn something from the bubbles ?

Yea, but, I'm over with it. I have other things now: dancing, love, something I learn...but blowing bubbles is all right.

Try to see with the kids what is the better conditions for blowing bubbles, where the bubbles fly far away, where they tend to survive and float more time. Show your kids how you can apply this for life.
