Falling stars and us
When dust happens to be caught by the gravitation of our little planet and this dust is speedy enough, we can see a known light effect: falling stars.
Do I like so see it? Yes! … and this is not so because I believe in special luck coming after. I just like it.
Are there people existing who have no positive feelings with it? I never met such a person. In fact, it is hard to believe that a person has negative feelings with falling stars. May be that is so because I am trapped in my world with people like me surrounding me.
But anyway, why is that so that we like falling stars? Why do we like a colourful butterfly passing by? Why do we like water falls, dolphins, icy mountain summits and all those things?
If a person likes a deep fright steak, the reason is not so difficult to understand. We have direct needs connected to our survival. These needs are not only of physical nature. Mental needs are also what we humans have. … and this not just a few.
Actually, we are mental machines.
Well, this is not a secret. But there is something about it.
Our world is explained daily by reason and logic. We live for our jobs and business. Yes, we have music and friends and pets. But most of the time we live for the world not serving our mental needs much.
We have leisure time with books, TV, parks and beach time to compensate that.
We are split daily into 2 worlds.
The one world loves falling stars and the other pretends that reason and logic are the only important base of our life. Well, you could work in the entertainment industry but working there is usually less entertaining as it could be imagined.
On the other hand, the emotionless business world is just a different kind of entertainment. But I better don’t go in that direction now.
People don’t want to think, they want to do (act) and feel.
… and when thinking about certain people, this is soo true.
May be feeling happy about a falling star in a warm summer night is what our nature is. Thinking is a little unnatural and we just started doing it for survival.
I wonder if we one day would stop thinking. A day when we don’t need to think any more. A scary day but also I feel somehow nice about it.
We live in a split world. I am split and so do you.
