Aristotle Stares at Starry Night
Every evening I take I walk so that I am able to appreciate what is
going on in the world outside of my head. I take this opportunity to
observe the ways of the world. Typically, I follow a route into a rather
secluded area where I can view nature without being interrupted by
human kind, which I have had the opportunity to observe at length during
the day. Many evenings I end of staring at the stars for a while.
Looking at the night's sky is an interesting thing to observe. It is
constantly changing, and yet one would not say that it has many
different forms. In the course of my lifetime I have looked upon many
beautiful things, and I have come to understand the feelings that come
when I view them. Van Gogh painted an image of this sky. He captured its
likeness so that I am able to recognize it under the same realm as the
sky that I am looking up at tonight. It is just as beautiful as the
stars of nature, for their shine appeals to the senses in just the same
way.
