When Stars Misguide Us

I saw a church in Savannah and it made me question how our society is building structures. Why are our souls disconnected from buildings in our modern world?

How do old buildings make you feel?

Old buildings make me feel that there is hope in the world, and in existing. It gives me feelings of warmth and makes me feel content.

It reminds me that not everything in the past will disappear, some things will last.

Looking at old structures stimulates my mind and gives me joy looking at the craftsmanship. I love exploring towns, and cities for old buildings.

There is something sacred about old buildings.

I only like traveling to places with history and historical buildings.

I believe that a town, or city without old buildings in them is soulless and incomplete.

The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist Savannah, Georgia

When I look at a brand new modern apartment complex my heart feels nothing, and my eyes can care less about the look of it. I walk or drive right past these ordinary-looking buildings.

On the other hand, when I see an old building with its history showing on the interior and exterior of the building, my heart begins to flutter, and my mind starts to wander.

I think about the past and the society that was before us, and not only does it stimulate my brain, but it is also interesting to look at.

For example, take a look at this marvelous 19th-century building in Savannah GA.

I had the honor to visit this church in Savannah and I also went inside the building

I was in awe of the beauty and details of the interior. I learned that the cathedral’s interior, including its original altars and artwork, were destroyed in a fire in 1898 (what caused the fire is not known) and was later rebuilt and it was rededicated in 1900.

When I look at the beauty of this church inside and out; it makes me think. How come no one wants to put the money and work into buildings anymore?

Is it because of the cost, time, and functionality? Are you telling me no wealthy person or organization wants to spend the time or money on a beautiful project that will last for generations?

People from around the USA and the world visit this church every year to stand before the beauty and craftsmanship, and no one has the time or money to create anything like this structure anymore?

How come in the past centuries there were buildings, created by skilled craftsmen, that were made for the public, made for the average citizen to look at and be amazed by daily?

In our society, we have buildings that have glass windows hovering over us to remind us that we have to go to work tomorrow, or we have soulless apartment buildings on their own empty lots with no food or stores around them and that no one can afford to live in unless that have roommates or two jobs.

Our modern societies’ buildings are bland and our community layouts are only built for cars to drive on. They are not built for humans to wander in.

There are so many regulations to build anything interesting, everything has to meet a code that is understandable for safety but sometimes I question these codes and wonder why can’t we make an exception for one building to look outstanding.

Which apartment building is more appealing to your eyes? To your soul? What kind of building structures do you enjoy looking at? Feel free to comment, I always love hearing people’s opinions and enjoy hearing thoughts that are different than my thoughts. Thank you for reading.
