It's kinda crazy not knowing what the sky, the biggest most omnipresent stuff in our life, looks like, is now the default for us.
Other first times that give life a lot of texture back:
- first time a dangerous animal looks at you, and there is no wall between you and it. We are not used to be pray.
- first time you get to taste really good fruits and vegetables. Most people think they had. They have not.
- first time you get lost in a wild remote place. The jungle is really scary.
- first time you lose all your stuff (including money and id) in a place you don't speak the language. You will look differently at immigrants after this one.
- first time you see a human dead body outside of a building or a box. The outside sewers in Mali for me.
- first time you use your knowledge of physics or maths to solve a real life problem, and it works. Ok, this one is awesome.
- first time you know you almost died right there.
- first time your car break hundreds of miles from civilization, there is no cell phone, and nobody is coming.
Of course I don't wish you a lot of those. We worked hard at creating a civilization because it's nice to not die from dehydration or a spooked bull.
