3 Reasons Why We Are So Attracted To The Ocean

Ever felt an unexplainable feeling of calmness and relaxation when you’re at sea? Well, yes, we have too! There’s something absolutely magical about the gushing waves and the endless waters that stretches endlessly to meet the horizon.

The mighty ocean takes up around 70% of the earth’s surface and has around 99% of the planet’s living space. The MarineBio Conservation Society reports that humans have discovered less than 10% of that living space. Considering how much of the planet is occupied by water, it’s no wonder that we find it fascinating. Let’s look closer at the reasons why humans feel attracted to the ocean:

#1: Water is the Life-Giving Force

The author, Arthur C. Clarke once commented that the earth should, in fact, be called ocean because of how there’s very little land compared to water.

NASA also advises researchers to look for traces of water when looking for alternate forms of life, following the basic understanding that stipulates where there’s water, there’s life.

Another interesting fact is that the ocean plankton actually provides over 50% of earth’s oxygen. Considering how water is part of all human activity—including breathing—no wonder it seems so fascinating to us.

#2: The Ocean Gives an Inexplicable Feeling of Joy

Have you ever visited a waterfall and just looked at it? Did you feel something that you don’t know how to put in words, but you know the feeling was very real? Yes, that’s the mystery of ocean and waterfalls.

The gushing water makes you feel an enigmatic joy that no still water or anything else can provide.

Some experiments have also proven how being near the ocean triggers memories in the brain, causing you to feel emotions you don’t quite know how to describe.

 #3: The Ocean Reminds Us of How Much There Is Left To Be Discovered

Humans are curious creatures. When we go out into the sea, you can’t help but wonder at the vastness of the ocean and how much there is out there that’s left to be discovered. We can’t help but think about how small we are as humans in the grand scheme of things and how much the world around us holds that’s bigger than us.
