To some people, the ocean seems like a scary place where you can die. First of all, you can die anywhere. But that’s not the point here.
The ocean is like this magical if you think of it. I’ve dreamt of the ocean long before I first watched Sebastian sing that super catchy song ‘Under the Sea’ on The Little Mermaid. However, that particular film made me think more of it. Before I mostly thought of the beach part of it where I could play and catch some waves. But after it was about what it’s like to be part of the sea. Do the fish have some kind of kingdom that keeps them all at peace like how Disney tries to insist on all three of their Little Mermaid films? I’m curious.
Sometimes people ask themselves whether there are different worlds out there. The way I see it, the ocean is another world that, as it happens, everyone except marine biologists and co. is not paying attention to. The sea level is an entry to another world – the same world where Nemo lives. That must mean something because some of us want to meet Nemo and not fry him (sorry?).
The Indian Ocean, which happens to be 20 mins by foot from my home (lucky), is my favorite thing to look at. I remember the days when I had to ride the ferry boat every morning to work and the sun would rise high and its light would fall on the water. That one incident marked my mornings because I truly felt like I shared something with another world, a world I can’t live in because I don’t have gills… And this obsession with the ocean even made me visit the International Maritime Museum Hamburg the first time I went to the city. It’s basically a boat museum but the visit is truly worth it. Looking at all the boats gives you the feeling of wanting to be close with the sea world because everything in there tells you just how great the ocean is and not simply in terms of size but in history and whatever is in it and what it can do with its powerful waves etc.. I get a similar feeling when I look at these pictures by asuphotolog.
But, of course, as every story goes we, humans, have found lo many many ways to destroy a world that is not ours. I won’t get into that now. But save the oceans, please And take time to appreciate what is around you; the ocean, the lake, the river or even the sky because I’m certain some of us have dreamt of living in the clouds and being able to fly. I can assure you, that kind of thing doesn’t happen in this world of ours.
