I love moon. I love staring at it. Heck, I love the whole component of sky. The stars, sun, clouds, galaxies, planets, everything. They always amaze me.
Full-moon is my favorite. And tonight, it appeared. So beautifully.
As I sit here, being thankful for the beautiful combination of tonight's sky, I learned something.
I learned that:
Some Things Are Meant To Be Enjoyed From The Distance.
Yep. As we can see from here, from the ground of the earth, moon is this one of God's most lovely creation. But, unfortunately, if we can see closer, all we can see is that hideous surface of the moon. That giant, grey, dusty, and boring view to see. Let's take a look.
Now, what do you think of moon after all? I bet you don't say "it's beautiful" anymore. If you ask why do all this time we think it's beautiful, here is why. Because, we see it from the distance. Because, Moon has the Sun to make itself look good. I'm saying, that: everything you find it beautiful, can be just a mirage*. You think it's flawless, but actually it isn't.
In other words, it's not necessary to have or own something/someone that you find attractive. As long as we can enjoy those things from a distance, why bother running after them so hard that you would only get yourself disappointed in the end?
Yes, just like the moon. I don't have to own the Moon. Because for me, it's enough just to simply stare at it and keep admiring it from the distance. :)
