God doesn’t do straight lines
"The straight line belonged to men and the curved line to God" -Antoni Gaudi
Forest vegetations are not arranged in grids, why are cities?
I have yet to see a perfectly straight tree trunk, but, straightness and plumbness of a line is essential in a built environment.
And in the absence of straight lines, symmetry is sought. But not even a beautiful woman possesses a totally symmetrical face; nor flowers.
If man’s aesthetic sense is not at all nature-inspired, then, where did he get these ideas from?
If the figurative plumb line is used to measure a person’s mental and psychological equilibrium, then, a person who is "Wala sa hulog" ,in God’s standard, is not at all crazy but naturally normal. Ironically, if that is so, then, in man’s point of view ,it only affirms the title of the movie "The gods must be crazy".
