Isn't it insane how nature has the capacity to change us just like that, by mere witnessing?

I recently read Byung-Chul Han's Saving Beauty:

"As opposed to beauty, the sublime does not cause an immediate feeling of pleasure ... the subject is shocked and overwhelmed by it. ... There is something there which shakes, an inner turmoil, which questions me and appeals to me: You must change your life."

Do you feel this was sublime to you?
