The Sky Is Blue

...or is it?

People always say the sky is blue as if it was something obvious. But the sky isn't always blue. At night it's more black with little white star dots. At sunrise or sunset, the sky can be purple or pink. So no, the sky isn't always blue. So it's weird to declare with such certainty that it is. Nothing is certain.

Oddly enough, though, saying "nothing is certain" is a contradiction in itself. Because if nothing is certain then the phrase "nothing is certain" can't be certain, which means that some things are certain. It doesn't make sense, but then again, this world doesn't make sense.

So I think it's safe to say: Nothing is certain.

But anyway, about the sky being blue. I was thinking about it today. Blue is supposed to be a calming color. So you'd think that people would be more calm, since we have a big blue sky above us. But no one ever looks up. I've made this observation on the top floors of a building when I look down and no one sees me, no one looks up.

There was this one time though, on the third floor of my school, when I looked out the window, and a group of students looked up and saw me. I waved at them. My school never stops surprising me.

So many people don't look up at the sky. They look in front of them, or down at the ground. The ground. You never know what's on the ground. Maybe green grass. It represents growing and life. But all life has to die. So the ground gets all depressing on us. Sometimes on the ground, there's also broken glass and other bad things to step on. That's also bad for looking at the ground.

So maybe people should look up more. Look at the sky, at the white fluffy clouds. It's easier to be optimistic when you're looking at the sky. Look up. That's what people sometimes say when they want someone to be optimistic. So how come no one ever does it? Do people just want to be negative? I really don't know.

Nothing is certain.
