静
Quiet
On’yomi: せい
Kun’yomi: しず.か
Radicals: Blue + Conflict
Meaning: Quiet
Conflict in blue water is made quiet by the muffling power of water. Under this blue water is a great conflict between two sea monsters, but on the surface it appears peaceful and quiet as the water prevents sound from rising above the surface.
Imagine watching this conflict from above the blue water on a boat. You can see all of the action but its eerily quiet as you cannot hear any of the noise.
Reading: せい
It’s quiet. To break the silence, Hard Gay jumps onto the poop deck and shouts, “Sei (せい), sei, sei~!” and starts hip thrusting violently. Now you don’t know whether to watch him, or concentrate on the conflict under the blue waters.
Picture yourself trying to concentrate on the quiet battle under the sea as Hard Gay parades around the ship, gyrating and shouting, “Sei, sei, sei~!” It’s quite distracting.
