Answer 1

You are so fascinating. Once a question is asked - well, you leave many options.

Just for me the answer to your original question is yes. Yes because overcast days with cool breezes take my mind away.

Sunny play days don't make me think.

I agree with Mr. Lictenberg; and, of course, that makes me a hypocrite.

You really are fascinating.

Answer 2

Ha ha, I think so. Overcast days with cool breezes are all round more refreshing and invigorating to my mental and physical state. Great quote...and yes, it's a beautiful day, no matter the weather. I get a somewhat puzzled feeling when people proclaim beautiful weather simply because the sky has no clouds and it's a warm, sunny day.

Do you remember the band, It's A Beautiful Day?

Thanks for the varied vid links too. :-)

Answer 3

Philosophical thinking requires no weather condition. What matter most is the wisdom you have and the joy of understanding. The philosophical mind doesn't chooses the condition of the atmosphere. But its philosophical thinking changes its course just as the weather do. Philosophical thinking will not stop its mind to apply the human knowledge in any playing field. It will cling like a timid spinster to the old-fashioned problems and ideas. No matter what the environment condition.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Answer 4

The outside weather affects our moods. The overcast days can be depressing, sunny days energising and cool breezes can put one in a romantic mood.

But, for philosophical ponderings, the inner climate of one's mind is all that matters. Those with sunny disposition in a healthy active body are more action-oriented not given to much brooding, like that child in your video....

Those with gloomy outlook, either inherent or experienced, are likely to lean towards deep philosophical thinking even in a fair, fine weather.

I wonder if brilliance of mind is limited though!!! Many of them philosophers shine very brightly for a short time (achieving much) and then begin to...er...uh...disintegrate....

Answer 5

Each in its own right leads to an expression of philosophical thinking...it evokes feeling, and how the moments are being stored for a memory. It can only be related by the individual at the time and the preception of it to them.

Answer 6

Another great question!

Give me an overcast day- preferably a morning with two cups of coffee.

The sun is not conducive to enlightenment!

Answer 7

Yes I think overcast days are more conductive to philosophical thinking. I believe the sun is distracting and perhaps provides sensory overload.

Answer 8

I believe we turn philosophical when in helpless discomfort, especially of the mind. I think philosophical thoughts arise in a churned up and tense mind rather than in an appeased or restful one which has no questions to ponder over.

Answer 9

it is proven that flies fly more lazier and slower when it is cloudy out side than when it is sunny

i think this is also true for humans

when it is cloudy outside I'm usually tired

perhaps it is because i am not getting vitamin D from the sun, that is making me tired

therefore i dont think better on cloudy days
or philosophize better

Answer 10

Yes, they are. I learned to love the fog when I lived in San Francisco. I could walk around in a fog for hours. Of course, sometimes that was in bright sunshine, but . . . LOL
