Everyone Has Their Own Moon

 

Everyone has their own moon. It is true.

🌑When I was a child, I always felt that the moon was following me.

🌒But now, I know, this is a brain mischief.

🌓When we look at a distant object, our brain judges how far it is by observing “how my head moves when I move, and how far that thing moves” in the subconscious. This causes parallax.

🌔But for objects as distant as the moon, the brain has no way to interpret the parallax, so the moon seems to always remain fixed with us.

🌕Therefore, we will feel that the moon is following us all the time.

🌝Although the facts are known now, I hope that the moon will shines on me with special care.
