"Why wake up early for the sunrise when I can simply catch the sunset later? The striking blend of orange, yellow, pink, purple, and red isn't so different, after all. But the sunset is a social phenomenon. Anyone can venture outside as the sun finishes its daylong journey across the sky. Seeing the sunrise takes effort and commitment. It's an intimate moment, one where I recognize that I'm in the minority of people on earth witnessing a grand spectacle at a given moment in time. At sunset, I'm promised the blanket of darkness. At sunrise, I'm promised revelation."
