Hey you with the pretty face....

(Adam J. Benton would like to point out that if you don't get the title reference then it is ELO fail)

An optimistic sky?

The sky has no intelligence or sentience. It cannot be optimistic or negative, nor have any mood or opinion as it is an object - inanimate and dead.

When it rains on you your anger does nothing; it does not care how you feel as 'it' cannot. It just is and your machinations have no bearing on it.

When you view the sky as nice or not, all you are doing is projecting your own aesthetic interpretation of reality upon that which you see.

You like what you see but what you see does not express this liking in any real way. The pleasing aspect of this sky is not something which is tangible. You cannot hold beauty in a jar.

Your mood is set by some presupposition of what reality is and just looking at the world can make you feel happy or sad when all that is really happening is that your projecting your deep emotions onto the blank canvas that is the world.

It does not feel, it does not think and it does not care. All that matters here is you.

You are that which assigns the world that is laid out in front of you purpose. You are the thinking, feeling, hurting creature at the centre of it all.

But do not fear, for I am there too.
