All this travel in flights has made me admire the capabilities of human intelligence which has crafted this giant vessel. Thousands of pipes, pistons and finely engineered machinery which work in tandem, in perfect synchronization to enable the miracle of flight! Flight! How humans have progressed from using arrows and stones to flying thousands of feet high, suspended in mid air. And all it takes is one loose screw or a tiny glitch to send us all down, but touchwood it all works fine (well, not all the time).
As Louis CK says, people really need to stop complaining about delays in flights, the annoying security checks and other trivialities, when you get to journey hundreds of kilometers in a matter of hours! You are sitting on a chair, in air! Let’s take some time out and appreciate the human brain. That tiny organ which you and me have, that has come up with the idea to freaking fly in the air. To add to that we can go to space, transcend the boundaries of our world using the same brain that also does the Harlem Shake and makes high octane crap like reality shows.
