The childlike wonder.
I think I can say why. HK people are bored!
I was there. People I met were genuinely curious and happy, like with a childlike wonder.Whether it is laughing at yourself slip on ice, staring with wonder at icicles. This offers very deep insight into human happiness. It's a little like the Futurama kind, the other worldly kind, or slapstick.
Themes
Curiosity.
The desire to integrate new things into one's conception of the world.
Happiness.
Where everything is fulfilled, every part of one's mind/body has found a purpose. Every part of the body, sensory organ, mental construct.
(Achievable purely through various therapeutic processes, doesn't actually have anything to do with what you have and don't have.)
Beauty.
Time. The passing of time. For schedule-minded people, it could be "Oh, I gotta go work on Monday, which is tomorrow!" For the nature lovers, it's the fleeting beauty of ice encasing branches and leaves, that would soon melt as the weather grows warmer.The interplay between control and loss of control
We can control ourselves, but nature is often out of our control.For some, it provokes a kind of fear and rejection. Like "Hey kid! Don't walk on the ice! You'll slip and fall and break bones!", or sealing off an area deemed too dangerous.
For others, it provokes curiosity and desire to integrate. Like what's causing people to walk up hills on a cold wet day.
