yours and mine

dear split the sky diary,

there is a sharp contrast between parting and splitting- it would seem the more you think about the two words- the more of a contrast is formed. when parting something- you would tend to simply separate one thing making it two things and when you split something- that insinuates a force- some power it has taken to break off a piece from the whole- and you don't even know if it's equal  or not- but when it's next to that other word 'parting,' you assume that it is-but when you say it alone- 'splitting,' is it? if a gigantic meteorite fell and split your head like a melon- would it split evenly? it would certainly part your hair.
