There is a trombidium next to me on the wall.
They look like this
If I want to reach it, I just have to extend my arm.
But if he wants to reach me, he'd have to climb down the wall and up my chair, because he can't jump or fly.
In the perspective of the trombidium, his/her accessible world could be represented as a single, flat, two-dimensional surface that he can just walk on. That's all he can do. He's confined in his own little world, completely missing out on a whole dimension of reality. If I told him he can also move up or down, he wouldn't understand and would just keep on walking. If I take him on my hand in attempt to prove that there is a third spatial dimension, he would just think that my surface has become a new part of his two-dimensional world. He sees nothing wrong with this.
If you don't approach things in life with an open mind, you will be just like the trombidium.

just like your last thread about odds and betting.
lmfao all over again.
Why dont u fuck off or shut the fuck up?
Because 'Trombidium' is just the Genus, not the full name of the specific animal. Trombidium holosericeum is the Genus+Species which refers to the exact animal.
Many maybe confused by this so you should be more specific.
