Ever thought of why humans are not born with wings? I do sometimes….
I went on a trip a couple weeks ago. I was so tired coz the flight outbound is after work, but I’ve always had trouble sleeping on airplane so I could not take a nap. Instead, I tried to pay attention on what’s going on around me.
Two things took my attention:
1. During takeoff and flight, passengers will shut their window, or at best, ignore what’s going on outside by reading magazine.
2. During landing, starting from pilot’s announcement that we are nearly at destination, passengers will start looking out of the window…. only for a brief moment. But when you can start seeing the cars on the street, the trees, the houses, then the people on the ground, passengers start to look outside.
Why are people so eager to look at the ground? Is it because even though many people dream of flying, they are truthfully afraid of flying? So afraid that they try to ignore the clouds floating below during flight? So eager to land that they stare at the the cars on the street, the trees, the houses, then the people on the ground?
