I was walking my kid (Nemi) to school this morning and we both observed the foggy environment around us.
Nemi asked me why the clouds are down here close to the ground and not up there in the sky? So I go through explaining the science of the fog - water vapor in the air in a suspended animation due to the absence of heat (sun). I hope I am right this general assumptions that lower temperature and water buildup in the air caused the fog - just like when you open up the fridge door - you get this soft puff of whitish air in your face.
I enjoyed this walking experienced with my son to school because we talked things and mostly his curiosity just about everything - nature, people, behavior, feelings, etc.
On my way back home, I contemplated our conversation about the fog. The fog in a distance is fuzziness - it obscure your vision and limits your visibility in farther distance - all directions. But I realized this is much like relativity observation as I can see clear picture of all 100 meters around me in the midst of the fog.
In life experiences, we always speculate and sometimes out of own prejudices - we make conclusions even though we are not sure about the situation of what happened. We are fearful and sometime fearless when making decisions but until we experience the totally of the situation and in the midst of it - we can emphatically say - this is how it look like - this is how it feels like - this is the real thing.
But this is the science of life - observable, real life experience. There's also another aspect of life called "Faith" - believing on something good that you do not see but you are hoping for it - Faith through the Fog.
