Have you ever seen lightning strike dry grass? Or illuminate the sky so that the shrouded night appears brighter than the day? For a moment, all around you is so engulfed in fire that the very hour itself deceives you. One of the common misconceptions about lightning is that lightning's negatively charged electrons move from the air to the ground, when in fact, it is often met half way by a stringing of protons from the ground, or other reasonable conduit.
The reason this fascinates me is this: lightning is a huge power, a force that cannot be harnessed, and something that draws emotions out of everyone. Be it fear, awe, inspiration, or the like, there is no one left unfathomed by it. But as I have very clearly explained with such substantial proof no one could differ, we see that it travels in two directions, moving both north and south as inertia drives it. "Power, coming from more than two directions? That can't be true. When I see lightning, it hit the ground; there is no middle-meeting-point at which both ends connect to create the static light that we see. Impossible."
To you I say fool. Look at the facts. And then look beyond the facts. Because no matter what you believe to be true about lightning, one thing remains the same: it happens. Now don't go putting religious mumbo jumbo behind this, but hear me when I say... Find inspiration in the things that we take for granted. If you waste your life on miserable proofs, where there is no reasonable facsimile for anything other than what we deem to be more than reasonable suspicion. It doesn't matter what you believe if you are dead.
