What is the definition of wonder? Is it a feeling or an emotion? When you first see a baby one says that they are in wonder. When I first saw my little sister I was in wonder for how someone so pure could be stuck in such a treacherous world. I was thinking of so many things and so many emotions were running through my mind. I could not fathom how she could be so beautiful. In small words I was at awe, shocked and mostly wordless.
The feeling of being in wonder can be described as being in awe. You are mostly trying to understand what is happening. Not only that but also how it is happening. What made that event possible? There is not always an answer to that question, but your mind likes to try to figure it out. You feel that fear of what is to come, or what will happen after the event. Some may be stuck in wonder for a long while, thinking about the event long into the night. They may still think of it from time to time, even throughout the month. I personally have felt that way when I first saw my sister. She was so small and delicate, she didn’t know the

When one is in wonder they are surprised at what they are seeing. It could take a while for the feeling to fade and for reality to settle back in. During this time one does not talk. They are wordless, or not speaking. It's not that they cannot speak, it is more like they have too many words to say. So many things can be racing through one's mind that they can not put them into sentences. If they were to speak the words would not make sense together. That feeling is not a bad thing, it's just a lot to take in for a human. This is another thing that I felt when I saw my sister not only did I not move but I didn’t speak. So many words I was not saying, I didn’t know why it was so hard to say them. I could not think to make them into understandable sentences. The word were jumbled up in my mind and heart. That one event was the thing that left me in
In "On Entering a New Place", Barry Lopez discusses how perception can be deceiving when trying something new that you don't completely understand. Typically, a person would be uncomfortable about the unknown so in their minds they theorize what could be. To continue getting rid of their nerves, they run their ideas through their heads multiple times until they believe that is how it's supposed to be.
We know not what we are saying. Our head is reeling." The emotion shown by
In week one, I immediately found myself interested and alert as I tried to absorb as much as possible from Examined Life. It was difficult to find a balance between taking as many good notes as possible, with making sure not to miss anything these eight philosophers had to say. I took to heart many of the thoughts and ideas that were shared throughout the film. The first that struck a cord with me was that it is not necessary to find meaning. At first that sounds contrary to philosophy at its core, because I find that is usually what we ponder; the meaning of whatever it is we are thinking, doing, or discussing. I realized that sometimes it is fine for things to just be, and not know why. Much of the film has to do with how we think, and what we do in private. Collectively, through these moral and ethical acts (or lack of them) we can impact the public. Also by sharing these thoughts and concepts with the public in the documentary, it can affect our thoughts and actions in our private lives; I know it has at least for myself.
Adults and older children never give a second thought to the fact that when something disappears out of sight that it still exists. It never crosses our minds to think about when exactly did the ability to “just know”develop. If something ceases to exist that was once right in someone’s hand right before our eyes we think we must be at a magic show. However, people don’t know that when they were an infant they had to develop the knowledge that when you don’t see something it still exists on earth. Technically, infants must be looking at a magic show everyday for months.
In the image of goodness in terms of society and/or personal actions and beliefs, people would probably want to believe what they want to believe, not let society choose who they should think is good and who is bad. In the book “The Crucible”, Arthur Miller demonstrates not only how people not only take what they believe in and use it to conduct their actions, but also, how it affects society all over the world. I,too would believe in my own personal beliefs or actions.
Initial Reflective Essay When I first thought of what I wanted to do with my life after college, the first thing I thought of was helping people. The next step in deciding what I wanted to do with my life was to examine how I could accomplish this goal. I started pondering and I was thinking about how much I love to take care of my body. Health care and personal hygiene has always been an important factor in my life. So I decided to major in Health Sciences.
The word awesome can be used to describe anything that happens in life. The earliest use of the word awesome is found in the late 15th century and 16th century and it is an English originated word. The meaning of the word was originally recognized as “filled with awe” but is now used as many different meanings. The meaning when the word first originated it gave the feeling of shivers down your spine. Now it’s just that when someone gets really excited, we use awesome to describe that feeling. It’s an exclamation of excitement and feeling of something really good (Shea). The word awesome is not even in the Noah Webster’s dictionary. This could be possible for many reasons. Even though the word awesome was around in 1828, people either did not use it a
I was sitting at a large table with all my family surrounding me. My stomach was growling, and my mouth was nearly salivating for the delicious looking plate of steaming food in front of me. I quickly devoured the food, enjoying every bite. Then, once I was finished eating and everyone else was, we got together in the living room. We played games and chatted, because we hadn't all been together in months. Food, smiles, and good times were all abundant that day. The day explained was my Thanksgiving. While many people have different understandings of what Thanksgiving is in modern times, Thanksgiving is an annual cultural tradition where you acknowledge being thankful by getting together with family and having a wholesome meal.
Of course, grief leaves you shocked. Shock leads to denial which is a coping mechanism that allows you to take in the distressing event at your own pace, granting freedom from the harsh reality that is your situation, and time to process. During this period, you feel "not fully there." You will feel as though you're watching passively, helplessly, from a distance, as your whole world crumbles around you.
From Mark Twain to Vincent van Gogh, each genre of art comes with its greatest master. There are many compelling arguments to why this specific artist, musician or writer is the best in their category. In modern days, we don’t have a Mozart, or a Hemingway or even an Andy Warhol. There are many good artists of their own kind and many more are emerging thanks to new technology and new forms of media art. However, many arguments are made as to why these forms of art aren’t considered true forms of art. A few years back and even today, many argue that digital paintings aren’t real art so it is not surprising when people don’t think of a video game as an art form, but it is. The world is at constant change and so is art.
Impressions are given sensations that arise from "unknown causes". Remember that what we know are our impressions, according to this trend. Whether there is something that corresponds to these impressions is unknown, for we don't know real being, we know impressions (a la Descartes).
The fear shrouded in confusion. Knowing that something is wrong, horribly wrong, but not knowing what. The terrifying premonition in your gut that your entire world is fading and that life will never be happy again.
Creativity is the act of coming up or generating ideas, solutions that are useful in solving problems. These approaches can be used to change and improve existing domain by making them better. Creativity is a characteristic that is for every person. What makes the difference is the way we perceive things that’s where the act of being creative applies. There are different types of creativity which depends on how one brought it up.
Since we are born we have imagination and as we grow up this imagination may increase or decrease. Creativity strongly relies in our imagination. Depending on different circumstances people learn to express their creativity openly while other people close themselves and believe they do not have creativity. Creativity is a natural talent that every single human has. Creativity can be used to solve a complex problem in a different manner or just to find innovative ways to have fun. Creativity is thinking out of the box. Even though creativity cannot be taught from scratch there should be a class that is specific for creativity.
Everybody; old and young have active an imagination, but we all express it differently than others. For me I express my imagination with my artwork. For example; when I was younger I watched a lot of cartoons just like any other kid. My favorite cartoon at the time was He-Man. I loved the show so much that I frequently dreamt and imagined of being strong like him, but I knew it could not be possible so instead of dreaming, I drew up an entire comic book of myself being a super strong super hero just like He-Man all thanks to my vivid imagination and artistic ability. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has done something similar.
