Top 10 reasons for sitting in the corner of a room
Why do I like to sit in corners? I'm not talking about being scolded and told to sit in the corner for something bad I've done. Instead, it's the option of where you like to sit in a room. The top ten reasons for sitting in the corner:
10.ŬIt's the safe zone (comfort)
9.ŬIt's the furthest away from the action (relaxation)
8. It's a focal point where two walls and the floor join together (aesthetics)
7.ŬThat is where the walls are most structurally sound (comfort)
6. It's easier to identify your relationship to the room and the room is identified. It's like being anchored to the dimensional qualities of the room. Instead of just floating out in the middle of cartesian space, you are more closely aligned to the apex of the cartesian XYZ structure. (concept)
5. You can do a corner kick like in soccer. (fun)
4. At work we used to have our weekly production meetings in this super tiny room. I liked to sit in the corner because then people wouldnt' have to climb over me to get to the other seats in the room. It was a little pet peeve of mine when people would sit right by the door, and then you have to maneuever around them to get to the other seats. (manners)
3.ŬThat's the place where you can see everything in the room (contemplation)
2. You might find something interested pushed over in the very corner on the floor (discovery)
1. It's better to sit in the corner where there is no prestige (humility)
"When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, 'Give this man your seat.' Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Luke 14:8-11
