What connection does mankind have with the moon?

Question

Every time I'm out and it's a full moon (or even an almost full moon) I love the feeling of just having the moonlight shine on me. I don't know how to explain it but it just feels really nice. It's just not myself either since I've talked to a variety of people and they all say it's a weird feeling but a good one to just enjoy the moonlight. so what's the deal with this, do humans have some sort of connection with the moon, maybe we have a connection to nature, or is it something else?

Answer 1

The connection goes back to the beginning of humanity.  Just like the sun brought light and life the moon served a purpose as well.  A full moon mean ancient humans could see at night and therefore hunt, protect themselves, and forage.  It was a matter of preservation.  You are feeling a long lost human instinct that originally existed as a means of survival.
