What is it with the TOP ?


It is always so difficult to reach at the top. Height - analogous to amount of success. The higher the better ? Was wondering where did it all start and why ?

Imagine the prehistoric man climbing up the mountain and realizing how tough it was…he was moving against gravity. Yes, reaching at the top was tough.

When he tried to throw a stone at the monkey on the tree to scare it, it was difficult to aim at the top.

The vastness of the sky and the stars and the moon would leave more scope for imagination and beliefs than the effort required to dig up and imagine what was there below. It was easy to bury people and make them vanish rather than throw them in air. Hell was below and heaven was at the top.

A pair of jeans is worn much more than a t shirt without a wash, feet are usually unseen while the face is all important. An endless trail.

The brain being at the top.. does it change the perception ? or we were obsessed with the top even when the brain was not at its present position and we were on four feet.. Ah! just imagine the things other way round.
