    I have spent quite a few nights just looking up at the midnight sky and quite a few times I have had this wierd feeling come over me, I cant explain how it feels but it feels quite good and quite bad showing how small we really are but how big we are to realise such a thing.

      i know what you mean. Its like when you stare at it long enough it seems to get larger and you feel smaller right? It kind of makes me feel compressed and tiny.

    I believe they do.
    The thought of so much space being between the stars, thinking of how our "life" is due to a star....etc.

    Movie stars or celestial stars? Mel Gibson has driven me quite insane. :oL

    Well, I was looking at the stars a few nights ago, and they were all twinkling like crazy, and I thought they were all dying..So I was having an internal freakout, and thought the sun wasn't going to come up in the morning. ;__;

    That is probably not a healthy thought process, but whatever...

    I go insane trying to figure out 1. WHAT they were thinking when they made what we know as constellations (I don't see it most of the time) 2. Who the hell agreed on it?? How did it become consensus??

    I guess if there's no TV or books or newspapers, you'd have to have something else to do, so star gazing makes sense...but how it all came to (basic) agreement is beyond me...

      Different cultures have their own constellations. The Chinese set is completely different from the Greek/Roman set.
      They came about from ancient religious beliefs. Those were often manifestations of their gods, or legends.
      The absurdity of it isn't too far off from how modern religions try to explain things.

    i thought this was a metaphor about reaching for unattainable dreams and them going mad because they dont reach said dream
