Mitchell Genovese Random 4

What is it about stars and the sky that captivates people?  Is it the beauty or the chance to see a shooting star?  In my opinion it is the unknown that makes people drawn to the stars.  For centuries people have looked to the skies as a way to connect with gods or enhance a spiritualness.  Stars are something that we cannot reach and even though we know what they are they are still very unknown to us.  I believe this is why the sky is seen as a gateway to heave and the afterlife; because of the unknown about it.  This can also explain why hell is seen to be down because what’s down is known and it does not have as much of a captivation like the sky.  I enjoy the stars myself and constantly find myself wondering what is out there among them… Just like the people of centuries past.
