Methinks that in an aisle seat even a philosopher would notice the adverse situation, unless he becomes part of it and makes his window-seat neighbor notice him.

It made me think of George MacDonald’s musings on viewing the world from the top of a mountain, and what insights it gave him into God’s character. I’m guessing the wise men would not even be noticing the cramped seats and Britney Spears and the food, in their awe and amazement at looking out the window and seeing the world from above. But to the Google Earth generation this is nothing special.
