Why looking at the moon makes you question life?

in #writing7 years ago (edited)

Actually when you thinking about it, the moon's pretty cool, no? It's like a massive sphere of rock floating in space, at the same time revolving around earth but never touching it. It seems like it's changing shape as the days go by, sometimes disappearing completely, then appearing again. Most times you don't really mind it because you'd think it doesn't affect your life in anyway possible, but if you think about the high tides and low, you really that wow. If that fisherman didn't catch that fish because of the low tide, then he wouldn't have gone to the market to sell his catch. Then in turn, he wouldn't have seen that tourist stranded on the road because of an overheated car and that tourist might have missed his flight and his work the next day, then miss his meeting which would have made a big impact on his company's sales and further improve their stocks. Then that investor wouldn't have sold his stocks on time to pay for his dying wife's hospital dues. His wife's doctor might have postponed a very critical operation due to that and felt angry because he couldn't be of more help, went angrily to the vending machine and out of frustration, break it then just because 7 eleven ran out of coffee, you try to go to school only to find out you won't be having coffee that night, and ultimately falling asleep before an exam that you're supposed to study for the next day. Damn, moon! You scary!
