I don’t know what it is about taking a shower that activates the most creative parts of your brain, but when you stand under that stream of water, your brain goes crazy!
You get the deepest of thoughts and questions when you are taking a shower and you stand there pondering like you are going to solve all of it right there and then, but then you come out of the shower and get on with your “normal” lives.
At least that’s what happens to a lot of people, or so I am told. Anyways, in one of these deep thoughts session, I was thinking about how cool it would be to fly like birds, free from the restrictions of gravity.
Then as the water was pouring over me, I suddenly realised that it would be equally great to be able to breather underwater so that we could swim deeper and longer, just like fish! So, I wanted to ask you guys what you would choose if you were given an option to choose from the two.
Flying High
We humans build things and technology to do things that we can’t otherwise do, due to the restrictions that nature has placed on our bodies, like not being able to fly for example.
That’s why we’ve built airplanes, hot air balloons, paragliders and now looking into jetpacks even, just to be able to escape gravity and make use of the advantages that flight provides.
But imagine being able to fly on your own, like Superman or Goku. Imagine how that would make you feel, an experience that would feel like one with the wind. You could go anywhere without having to think twice.
You could also just go to the skies sometimes to escape the humdrum of life and spend time jumping in and out of the clouds and saying hello to the birds! That is why I would choose this option, even though I love the feeling of being in the water.
Swimming Deep
Who doesn’t like a dip in the ocean, am I right? There is something about being around water, at least to me, that feels so soothing and peaceful in that moment, when you let the waves take control of your body and you are just going with the flow.
Sometimes I wonder how awesome it would be to be able to breathe under water so we could remain down there for as long as we wanted and could just swim with the fish.
Right now we have many technological ways of doing so, like scuba diving, which helps us get a feel for that experience but being able to do it on your own would be something totally magical.
But even though if you could breathe under water, you probably couldn’t go very deep as there just wouldn’t be enough life for you to see around, and of course there would be dangers from the sharks and other creatures as well, which are not present when you’re flying! Anyways, I would love to hear what you would choose, if you had the choice.
