I mentioned
Abstruse Goose in my last post but I had to point out this one since I have similar feelings all the time. The thing that most usually prompts such feelings in me is looking at the moon. Intellectually, I understand that the moon's motion is simply determined by an attraction to the earth and the conservation of angular momentum (I understand it better than you, in fact). That's actually pretty amazing itself. But also, it just looks like a big fucking rock just sitting there in the sky. This is especially pronounced to me when one can see it during the daytime. I guess this strikes me particularly because, unlike the stars which are too far away to see very well, and the Sun which is just too damn bright, the moon doesn't look like anything besides a big fucking rock. In the sky. Just hanging there. Over your head. Every night. Fuck.
