Have you ever heard someone saying that a person could be walking on water or walking in the clouds? If you were talking about someone walking with their head in the clouds, it could mean that they are so in love with someone that it is all they have on their minds. It could mean that they had just gotten a new job, or that they had come into a lot of money.
Sometimes we think that if a person holds their head up and doesn't talk much that they are either stuck-up or just in the clouds. If we say that someone is acting like they could walk on water we are actually saying that this person thinks that they can do no wrong. They seem to think that they are like Jesus, but no one will ever be like Him. There may be something else that can walk on water, and that is an angel.
When you walk around not noticing the things around you then you would be said to have your head in the clouds, but this isn't always a good thing to do. You could walk into something that is in your path or the worst that could happen is you could fall down a flight of stairs if you weren't looking or know that they are there. If you are so deep in thought that you might miss something that was said, and this might have something to do with you or your job.
If you do this all the time people will most likely just stop talking to you all together. They will know that you haven't heard a word that they said to you, or they might think that you are going deaf and will start to yell at you to get your attention. This can be a bad thing also, especially if you work in a nursing home or a hospital or even if you work in a coal mine. You have to be quiet at all times in these kinds of places, and someone can't be always yelling at someone to get their attention.
If this does happen and you don't stop keeping your head out of the clouds or even walking on water you could, for most reasons, be let go from your job. This might be one way to make you learn not to do these things because you might have a family, and this wouldn't help the family unit. |
