"We owe our exceptional power of thought to the very first stargazers." Who was the first philosopher? To me, the first philosopher was not a man who wondered about the meaning of life, but a man - an early man - who first looked up at the stars. Perhaps somewhere in a remote corner of the world, that prehistoric being had the audacity to ask a very fundamental question - that of man's place in the universe. He wanted to know what those tiny dots of light were, scattered across the night sky, as he looked upon them sitting by the fire, perhaps after finishing a night's meal. The first sensation was not of fear, but of curiosity. I think that very first realization of a world beyond our own made us ponder upon life. It took another 10000 years or so for us to truly grasp the cosmic reality, but that first man, who experienced the most primitive sense of the idea of a universe was the one who truly made a giant leap. I think we owe our exceptional power of thought to the very first stargazers. Looking beyond the terrestrial made us reflect upon ourselves.
