What do you think should also make the list? Comment below.
1. Books
“The fact that we evolved, looked at a line in the sand and thought, ‘this accurately expresses my thoughts.’ The fact that we then looked at a stone and thought, ‘I could chisel in my thoughts to that.’ The fact that we looked at a tree and mused, ‘I could paint my thoughts on that.’
The fact that while we selfishly have been writing down our thoughts for thousands of years, we are compelled to share these monologues with others. The fact that we spend hours and years thinking and writing stories of people who will never exist, just so someone else might not feel alone.
Books make me feel proud. They make me feel like I’m sitting next to Plato, or Shakespeare or Tolkien and listening to them talk.”
“Power over and harnessing electricity. How a person can even understand it is another story.”
