Silence and Chill - Lure of the Night

I like the night. 

I have already written a post about it: Night Sky is Never Dark - Beauty in Darkness. However, I still want to write more about my favorite time of the day.

Busy Daylight. 

Daytime is the time when everyone goes to school or work and does stuff. I think after staying indoors for many years (at school and at home) my body has become a vampire. I do not particularly like the sunlight anymore. Often it is too intense and blinds me. 

However, I do appreciate day moments when the temperature is slightly chill, the sun is not at its full brightness, and clouds are decorating a brilliant blue sky. Yes! I would love to lay on a slightly sloped field of grass and enjoy the beauty of nature. Unfortunately, that is not every day. 

More so than ever, there are cars, buildings, noises around us that distract us. When day comes, the world becomes a beehive. People are rushing everywhere ceaselessly and making a constantly distracting buzz. 

Silent Night. 

Night, however, is silent. During the night, a lot of creatures go to sleep. I believe even bees don't go out at night! To be honest, I don't go out at night, but I do enjoy the night. The night is dark, so I can turn on my LED lamp and enjoy a softer light. I use a very warm screen tone on my Windows 10 laptop and my smartphone. I use a colder light for studying, but that is about yet. The subtle warmth of the screen is very inviting in darkness. 

And while the night is silent, I have a choice of listening to music or listening to nature. Without noise, I can enjoy my favorite music (mostly soft music). I do not turn the volume on my earbuds up very high, I keep it at a notch quieter than regular conversations.  

Concentration. 

Maybe I am just bad at concentrating and night gives me a better environment to concentrate. All of my blog posts are written at night, because in the afternoon, I do not feel like I can calm down. Maybe it is because I trained my body to nap in the afternoon after school. Despite the underlying reasons, my propensity for night is clear: I enjoy it.

Lure. 

Sometimes I just want to go outside at night to breath in the fresh air and enjoy the chill wind, and the near silence.

Does Absolute Truth Exist? - Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of Truth

Image
What is the truth?  We all live life searching for the truth. Some claim they have found it; some claim it does not exist. What is truth? My English teacher asked the question in class, and I applied Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle to truth.  Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle The Uncertainty Principle states that it is not possible to measure both the location and momentum of a subatomic particle. Any attempts to measure its position will alter its actual position, making the measurement useless.  Picture by Christiane Wilke . The Real Life Metaphor We cannot see the truth behind a person, or even ourselves, because when we look at a person, their truths change. When we observe ourselves, our truths change. Let's take the example of describing oneself. In front of friends, one may think one is funny, or fun to be around. In front of judging figures, such as children or parents, one may try to be more serious to fit the model the society recommends. ...

Sea of No Progress - Beginning of Continuity

Image
It has been a while. A few weeks since I wrote a post. Life gives a little and takes a little. I am back with a series, the continuity series. There are a few concepts in life that mesmerize me, and one of them is continuity. There is really no singular destination for us, but there is constant drive urging us to continue, whether it is to chase after our dreams or do something that we may not want to do.  Embark.  Setting sail is exciting! I believe in beginner's luck. When we start something, we get this exhilarating feeling of growth and satisfaction. We feel we are going in the right direction and we will be able to reap the rewards. However, as the port disappears into the horizon, we see nothing but sea. Art from Darling in the Franxx. Boundless.  Sea is boundless. Once we are in it, we are surrounded by miles upon miles of blue water. We can not tell where we are, because we have no reference. We only know that we are surrounded by water. This can ...

The Trying Game

Image
Random is defined by a chance process. We do not know what exactly will happen next, but we can assign a probability that approximates the distribution of the chance process in the long run.  In life, not many things follow probability. Dice rolls may be random, but within a game that rolls the dice a hundred times, the results are not uniform at all. We can say that the game is random, and it takes luck to win the game.  Photo by me from Pixel 2 XL. Luck.  Many see luck as an abstract cause of something good that happened. You met the right person at the right time today? That's luck.  Others see luck as the intersection of opportunity and preparation. You met the right person at the right time, because you have been preparing for potential meetings directly or indirectly and acted upon the opportunity that came up.  Either way, cause and effect relationships cannot perfectly explain events in life. That is the reason we use "luck" and ...
