Why Does Minerva's Owl Soar In the Nocturnal Sky

Rather than the light of the day why does the owl soar in the darkened night sky? Does the owl soar in the darkened night sky avoiding dazzling daylight because it’s painful to watch the terribly misshapen humans creeping on the earth to find their place? Or because it’s so pitiful to watch the ugly disfigured humans struggling to embrace one another in order to lessen the pain in place of the hardship that makes the day? Otherwise, there would be no reason for the owl to soar in the nocturnal air in a time like the exhausted souls roaming on the path called oblivion to shake the detestable notions off from their weary shoulders that they collected and carrying after a day of long and hard labor under the burning sun. It’s indeed thoughtful of the owl if that is the case, but it really a piece of shattered long-cherished desire that naive souls hang onto, the other desire that won’t be realized as before. For an opportunity comes in the alley of a difficult life not only one step behind but visiting after it becomes totally useless as always, the noncommittal hour arrives here as the owl gets on the sunset glow to the way where a day hurriedly moves forward because a day is too short to conclude as a day. Is that why Minerva’s owl soars in the darkening sky that sinks deeper in the night air? Quote from Hegel, cf: The Owl of Minerva takes flight only as the dusk begins to fall
