"Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertainment and convenience, but it has left us in a world without wonder. Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations. Even our self-worth as human beings has been destroyed. Science proclaims that Planet Earth and its inhabitants are a meaningless speck in the grand scheme. A cosmic accident.”
Dan Brown. i guess most of the readers of his books likes what he writes. recently (ok.. shame shame to me that i read it sooo late) i read his book "Angels & Demons". that is one of the best books i've read till date. a science VS religion fiction. The above paragraph is taken from the same novel. i loved the para. it is sooooo nicely put.
i mean imagine that you are looking at a huuuuuuuugggggggeeeeeeee mountain. beautiful. surrounded by clouds. ice capped. and imagine a beautiful blue sky in the back ground. imagine some small waterfall emerging from it... wonderful, isnt it?
and now imagine the same mountain as a cluster of molecules and atoms with beautiful protons and electrons and neutrons. imagine the water as individual molecules of H2O
doesnt have the same effect, right??
that it. small post. actually i want to write a lot more about it but i am not getting the exact words.

Oh u have portrayed what u wanted to say in those words of urs..
Every li'l things that nature has created and that aid a visual splendor def has an origin.. but being consumed by the origin dissolves the pleasure involved in simply savouring the beauty of its existence..

Just stopped by to say hello. you have a nice blog here. I have toagrr with rose, wasting time pondering about the origin, instead of savoring the beauty.
@rose:
yeah. so very true.
@starry nights:

I don't know... personally, I think there's a lot of wonder in the fact that that mountiain is 99.99% empty space inside of all those atoms. However, there's so much beauty that isn't proven yet :)
