When you think of stairs

[Jazzy]

When you think of stairs do you think of going up or down?

 

[Stephen]

I tend to think of stairs going up.
Perhaps that is because I see more of them.
Or is there some deep psychological reason?.

 

[Albion]

up.

But we most often come upon a flight of stairs when we're at the bottom of them, don't we?

 

[JRT]

I am starting to hate stairs because my knees require me to be so very careful. It is much worse going down.

 

[eddif]

I guess I just think of Genesis 28:12
12. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
I am standing on the earth and what floor do I want to be visited on.

The human spine looks like a ladder with a strange handrail grips. Each vertebra has nerves (angel messangers) branching off at the different floors. Do I want to be at the heart, or be met all the way to the highest cognitive level?

Ok Stephen is this what you might mean?

……
I never thought of descending myself before your post.
II Corinthians 12:2 kjv I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth such an one caught up to the third heaven.
What floor of our thought levels is this? Do we have a spiritual moment, but physical moments bring us back down?

Going up

 

[Alexander]

When thinking of stairs, my first immediate thought is going up. I have stairs in my apartment, and they are a great way to keep fit and burn calories naturally. This was especially the case during a lockdown, where freedom of movement was restricted. This is a bit deep, but life could be described as stairs with various obstacles in the way in some respects.

The stairs I use most (99 percent of the time) are the basement stairs, so it seems that down is the thought. I have steps at my porches but they are only two steps, so I never consider them stairs.

Ha, so what constitutes stairs? How many steps are needed to make a stair?

 

[Empire]

They go down and up to the point that you have to then go up and down I have 48 stairs to my room or office. Three-story home. It's fun to run up them as fast as you can

Up the stairs for me. The popular cockney rhyming slang in the UK embedded that in my brain.

Up the stairs = Up the apples and pears.
