Sunrise and Happiness

Tweet

I was on another board, and someone posted a comment that there is nothing really new. He went on to expand his statement to take a swipe at a politician. Of course, I ignored the trap laid to start an argument and countered with the statement that each sunrise is new. Naturally, that statement was taken as a challenge to educate me, and was countered with an argument that sunrise is an illusion because the Earth spins on its axis ensuring that the sun is rising somewhere at all times. And to prove that, some scientist spent gobs of money traveling around the world and recording the songs of birds as they sang at sunrise. I think there are few things more pleasing than hearing the melody of songbirds who sound so joyful at the dawn of a new day. I drew the conclusion that sunrise is continual newness and that it is a renewable source of joy. What do you think? Do you enjoy sunrise?
