What common human experience do you find amazing?

*experiences

(I’m going to answer even though I don’t fully agree with the idea of “common human experience”)

Laughing when people trip/fall/or otherwise make fools of themselves.

Ah schadenfreude, a true measure of humanity.

Love. Not to be obvious. But, I think it’s pretty amazing we all find it in some way.

Dreams. Like the ones you have when you sleep

Silence.

I have tried to cultivate an appreciation for it, as the world we live in becomes more chaotic and crowded every day. There is something profound in silence. I find peace, rest and reflection when I take time to be silent.

I love silence. I really love going to the park with a blanket, book, and beer. I can sit around all day and read. I don’t have to worry about my phone ringing, or a knock on the door. I do love the sounds of nature, the trees while it is windy or the river. Those are good sounds and I embrace them.

Enjoying the beauty of a sunset.

Sex. If you’re doing it right it’s pretty effing amazing.

I’m going to answer this excellent question a little differently… The common human experience I just had that totally amazed me:

Celebrating with strangers the victory of Barack Obama to the presidency of the United States. All together, in the streets of San Francisco. Truly amazing.

Passion, in its entirety. It can be used to describe many feelings. Love, hate, sex, etc. We may agree or disagree, but it’s all because of passion.

Joy. It’s pretty amazing. People spend their whole lives looking for it never realizing they had it or only to find it in the simplest things in the end. It’s so powerful butcan be so simple.

A drive to live. That is, we strive to stay alive and will fight for it.

Here are a few more that really intrigue me:
-Anticipation
-Having to “run” to the bathroom
-That awesome time right before you fall asleep
-Compassion
