Ramblings of a Confused Soul
The sunlight is brightest when it is raining.
It is my hypothesis. I haven’t had the chance to verify this thesis.
The bases for this hypothesis are the following:
• Water and water vapor act as magnifying glass or prism that increases the intensity of the sunlight that pass through it
• Rainwater cleanses the air of pollutants and particles that could block off the sunlight
• Rainwater scattered off a pavement will reflect the sunlight that touches the surface and its intensity is brightest at the reflection angle
I love the rain with its refreshing effect on the human soul. It’s like the body is cleansed inside out with water dripping back to the ground. However, it feels quite differently when the rain falls down with the sun shining brightly. You get the feeling of being robbed of your body warmth and comfort. It is an unusual feeling to get caught in the rain in the middle of a mid-day sun. Maybe this is the reason why more often than not, a person catches a cold at this instance.
