forever sunsets

I do believe that when its raining outside, this is something that I as well as others can independently comment upon. I don't think the whole world is a hoax or anything. I just think that actually getting at the rain outside is tricky and maybe impossible. Its like "watching the sunset"-- that figure of speech stacked up many times over in your brain, until the original event, literally watching a sun set is lost, lost so that it might as well have not existed in the first place. This is not to say that I can prove any of this, only that maybe one time I knew and felt it so much, but now I only sort of remember it being right.
