Twilight

One of the most commonly asked philosophical questions: “Which do you like better, the day, or the night?”

How you answer that can say a lot about you. Some people will say that if you like the day, you’re someone who likes to see the path ahead of them, and who craves social interaction of some kind, as people tend to come out during the day, where it’s safe, and warm. You might also just like it because you get to see all the colors that the world has to offer, or because you feel safer in the light. Why, you might even enjoy it just because of the clouds, and how your mind’s eye can shape them into whatever form it so desires.

Others will say that if you like the night, that you are a person of silence, who prefers the twinkling stars that hold so much mystery to many creatures. You like the company of only a few people, but you feel close to them all the same. You keep them close to you, so you don’t lose sight of them in the vast, seemingly empty night. Maybe you just like to relax in your bed, with your love by your side, and be glad that you both survived another day, and have reached the peace of the darkness.

Yes, a lot can be said about you depending on how you answer that question.

But myself? In all honesty, I prefer the twilight, that time when it is both day, and night. That time when we can see the greatest qualities that both sides have to offer. It doesn’t last as long as the others, but that means you just have to make sure that you enjoy it as much as you can. Twilight appears at both the beginning of another night, and at the dawning of a new day, greeting everyone that goes by.

You can see the stars, and the clouds during twilight, and enjoy their beauty side by side, while you wait for the sunset/sunrise. It signals the end, and the beginning.

Twilight holds the first star, the star that we all have wished upon once, and still do.

You can’t honestly tell me that when you look at the sky, there’s not one small part of you that wishes on that shining star, hoping for a better tomorrow.

All in all, I guess I can say what’s pretty obvious by now:

I love Twilight.

Now I just have to answer the first most commonly asked philosophical question that no one can avoid, no matter how hard they try:

Why?
