Do you feel most alive when you stand in awe of something great like the Grand Canyon?

Question

Do people go to the Grand Canyon or climb mountains to feel big and important or to gasp at wonder larger than themselves and does it apply to God in a greater way?

Answer 1

I love admiring God's creation.

And it's nothing compared to what heaven will be like......

Answer 2

People go to the Grand Canyon because it is one hell of a deep hole and they like taking pictures of it to show folks back in East Jesus, MO.

Grand Canyon pics don't have so many cartoon characters in them as Disneyland pictures.

God pics usually just show sky, or for Sun God worshipers, they're over exposed.

Answer 3

You are full of Bull son! there is no god. Gods are Human creations, they come from the ignorant and primitive minds of past generations and are still festering in the world today. Take a look at the violence death and destruction in the World now. Humans are a backward primitive Species and you are one of the backward. The Grand Canyon is just a geological aberration just as you are a biological aberration.

Answer 4

I suppose some people do those things, maybe for the accomplishment.
Personally, I feel most alive every time I feel another pain.
That's when I KNOW I am alive.
I always liked getting out to walk in the woods.

Answer 5

I find I enjoy the view, and appreciate the scale, but I don't particularly feel awe in the sense that my mind boggles at the very existence of it.

Answer 6

Its a fantastic example of Geological time and the hundreds of millions of years required for such Geological formations.

Answer 7

Yeh but then I felt the urge to jump.
