Wow. So Deep

We’re gonna skip the part about my life and how its been going this time around.

It’s been good. Nothing’s changed.

Flashback to the middle/end of Junior year at Great Lakes, when I used to have “Five Minutes with Josiah *ding* ”. Those were great times. For those that haven’t heard about these already, they were basically just sessions in the front desk/booth of the boys dorm, where Josiah Salazar and I would talk about something super deep.

Moving on. Try to keep up.

A recent conversation in my everyday life brought everything from those conversations back up. Everything deep. Everything scary. Everything. A whole spectrum of emotions went into those conversations, and a whole spectrum of emotions were harvested from those conversations in return.

Let me tell you man. Thinking is a wonderful thing, and we need to do it WAYYYYYYYY more often.

So, matching the title of this post, we’re going to be talking about the Oceans. Or the Ocean. It’s really just one big thing, I don’t understand why we split it up all the time… That being said, don’t just skip ahead and skim over everything, as this is not your average “wooow bro, the waters huge.. I mean, the oceannnn dudddee…” post. I’m ashamed that you would even stop to consider the fact that I might make a post even close to that.

The ocean is so freakin wide. Water covers about 70% of the earth, and 30% of that is the Pacific. You know how many gallons of water are in the Pacific? A lot of them. I’m tired of spewing these facts. On to the deep part of this topic.

You know how much of the ocean we’ve explored? Probably a lot of it. Deep sea dives, sonar, etc… SIKE. We have explored a whopping 5%-ish of the ocean. That’s it. That’s all. We know next to nothing about it, but we don’t want people to know. We pretend to know how deep it is, and what’s down there, but we don’t. In that 5% of the ocean, we have whales, rather enormous whales, squids, even bigger squids, and some of the most terrifying creatures you could ever have thought to imagine. Again, that’s just in that measly five percent.

Makes you think twice about movies like The Meg, doesn’t it?

I’m gonna branch out on a limb and say that there’s worse down there than what we have.

For those of you that don’t know a lot about the Bible, there’s a part in there where this guy talks about the Leviathan. Multiple guys actually. All published separately, all compiled in the end, just the same. They describe this behemoth and it’s terrifying.

Now, there is of course the chance that they all made it up, that it was a symbol of strength and terror, that it was a myth, made by man.

But what if it’s not?

It very well could be a legit thing. Or could have been. Who knows if it ever lived, or if it still is.

That’s all for tonight… Not really a point to prove in this one, just a deep thought about the deep for you to think on.

Have fun being terrified of the water now.
