Sometimes i wonder why the sky is so blue today then it hits me "oh yeah because of the "tyndall effect" which somehow gets me to thinking that in reality, science has ruined alot of the simple wonders of nature for us by breaking it all down into logic or rather forcing us to think "how? why?". How i miss the old days when i used to marvel at the beauty of a rainbow and now whenever i look at one its like "bahh thats just caused by light being refracted from tiny water droplets in the air". Let me spoil the wow factor of the rainbow furthurmore for you by telling you it can be reproduced at home,just spray water on a white wall in sunlight and you'll have your own rainbow!
See knowing how stuff happens or how things work is useful, when you want to fix a spare tire,a leaky faucet or pass exams but when you just want to enjoy nature why do you need an explanation? Again i blame science or better yet education for creating that uncontrollable curiousity-remember it did kill the cat.
What's really bad,which i guess most of us have experienced is this- you are enjoying a picturesque view, and you come across these annoying people who always ask why (I bet you must have) and you must have felt like taping their mouths shut when they not only ask a question but also answer it themselves (for example) "oh why is that cliff shaped that way? mmm its pretty...... oh yea i know must be due to soil erosion" :-s
C'mon man did you really have to do that??
Sheesh :-(
P.S - feel free to comment on how the beauty of something you know has been lost thanks to science/logic ;-)
