What exactly can make you get back on Earth...?

Question

exactly in those moments when you feel so witty, so incisive, so increasingly gratified with your own eloquence as if you were climbing the steps of a stairway to heaven?

Answer 1

It's usually at those peaks of profound wisdom while I'm enhancing and enlarging the essence of human intellect as a whole that someone looks at me and says... "what on Earth are talking about" and everyone else just kind of stares at me with expressions of blank persistence.

There's nothing quite like it to bring a mind, that's soaring away, back down to a humble beginning because it really doesn't matter how incisive or witty a remark is, if no one around can grasp it anyway.

Answer 2

Indifference always works.

Slaps you right in the head and tears off your wings like a poor fly.

Answer 4

Answer 5

When you make a mistake, when you realise that the closest step to being immortal means living whatever discoveries or revelations you would derive hence to commit to eternal audiences....while life seems a fleeting fantasy.

You definitely come back to earth when you feel like those moments of your uttermost self do nothing to wipe the tears off a childs face, or the grimacing and grotesque scenes of poverty, misery and dispair.

You come back to earth when you find that reality is our universe and with it, we paint our lives how best we choose it. Then we are not as eloquent, when we are disposed to dependencies and human error. The error being to assume that 'we' are God.

Answer 6

When the outside world contacts you with a situation of such gravity that it forces you back down to reality. Situations that you aren't able to control will quickly remove any aura of invincibility.

Some old dude yelling at me cause i am singing while im in traffic. Since he doesn't listen to music it make him very angry to see me so at ease. That brings me right down to earth cause i feel sorry for the old timer, lost his soul.

Answer 8

At that moment the IRS calls and that's when I realize taxes are imminent like death....lol and my revelations are shattered.

Answer 9

Only your thoughts of your sense of self.

Answer 10

If you never leave the ground you never have to worry about coming back down.
