The journey we perform on the celestial roller coaster

The journey we perform on the celestial roller coaster

Though it is quite thrilling to ride a roller coaster โ€“ many people feel quite terrified when they reach the highest point above the ground level and start zooming downward at a terrifying speed. They feel terrified because they can see the height from which they climb down.

Many get even a nauseating feeling. Though we donโ€™t notice, the speed at which they climb down on a roller coaster is nothing as compared to the speed at which we spin around the axis of the earth one round a day, every day or the speed at which we also revolve around the sun as the earth revolves around the sun along with its all baggage (like us), we also revolve around the Milky Way along with the sun at the speed at which the sun zooms around the black-hole of our galaxy (carrying not only the earth, carrying even its all other planets circling around it, as well) and we even swing upward and downward along with the sun as it swings above the galactic plane and below the galactic plane as shown in the following diagram.

Movement of Sun through Galactic ,Plane

We revolve, along with the sun, around the centre of the galaxy at a whopping speed of 250 km per second in an orbit having a radius of 3×10^4 light years.

Yet, we never feel nauseated a bit.

Do you know why?

We donโ€™t get nauseated just because we donโ€™t see that we are swirling around in the space (which is absolutely dark on all sides) in so many myriad ways, as described above.

Certainly, even the hearts of the most enduring people shall freeze if they could see themselves swirling around the space in a much more terrifying manner than on any man-made roller coaster, anywhere in the world.

You may guess the โ€œexcruciating wildernessโ€ of the roller coaster we race through in gross darkness coolly sitting on the earth โ€“ much the same way as we saddle in the carriage of some man-made roller coaster.

The only difference in the man-made roller coasters and the celestial roller coaster is that it is

  • quadrillions times bigger than any man-made roller coaster
  • we canโ€™t see โ€“ at what height we are zooming in the space in so many multiple ways in a manner as we zoom on various man-made roller coasters for fun

May be, we do not feel giddy despite swirling in space in so many weird ways as we should have felt if we would have been able to see our frightening surroundings through which we happen to swirl all our life in the space that stretches across us, perched on the earth, only because we do not notice that we are swirling in this manner in the space; there may be, yet, one more reason of our not feeling nauseated.

The other reason for our not getting nauseatedย 

There has to be some other reason as well since though we may not be able to see ourselves swirling โ€“ we are, anyway, swirling in the space. So, rightly speaking, we should feel giddy. ย  ย 

Maybe โ€“ we feel nauseated only as long as we swirl at the speeds below certain โ€œthresholdsโ€ โ€“ but not when we swirl at the speeds which shoot beyond such thresholds.

Of course, I do not have any veritable data on hand to support such a view.

But I am hypothesizing this possibility simply on the basis that I canโ€™t think of any other possibility besides such possibility.

Though I expect that you would be aware of the stressful journey we perform in this roller coaster, which we could call โ€œcelestial roller coasterโ€, you would get an idea of the weirdness of the somersaulting we keep on doing, day-in day-out, whole of our life even if we looked at the following diagram, which shows the movement of the earth around the sun.

As the earth somersaults, we also somersault along with it since the earth does not simply revolve around the sun โ€“ it, even, keeps on spinning around its axis at a speed of 15ยฐ per hour.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
