Note: Before continuing with this post I must say that yes, I will continue to use that pun (the one in the title)
As a
random human being with a lot in her mind, seeing through my eyes is a whole
new experience. The thing is that I get so used to my thoughts that I often
wonder how other people can live without them. That’s why today I want you to
know what it feels like to think like me.
Usually
when I am walking down the university I am usually thinking about how no one
notices anything. I’m a believer. I believe God created nature and everything
so we could enjoy it and it is a shame that we are almost never able to do
that. It is sad that I walk and all I see is indifference. The university has
taught me some things and one among them is the fact that no one cares about
anyone; no one gives a damn of what you do with your life. People are so
submersed in their own lives that they fail to stop and recognize that we are
all living together in this society and what happens to another person’s life
can possibly affect us in a point of our lives.
Anyways,
back to what I was talking about. When I was reading “On looking”, something that
caught my attention is the part when the author says that some people see
things according to their professions or what they do. I can identify myself
with that because it is something I usually do. I love chemistry and that I am
studying at the university. When I see things as I walk I start thinking about
how they are composed, how their molecules and particles move and how would it
be possible to alter their composition. It also happens to me when I am
watching The Flash series. I always try to physically explain every impossible
thing that happens in the show. I must admit that thinking like that is pretty
amazing.
Sometimes,
when I am really overwhelmed with work, projects and responsibilities I go
outside and stare at the mountains. I live in a rural place and at the very end
of the street there stands a big mountain, just as if it had been dropped from
the sky and fell there. It brings me so much calmness and each time I look at
it I think about how everyone has so much to do and life passes by and we are
never able to enjoy the little and most simple things in life.
The
other time that I am not thinking the ways I mentioned before are my “what if”
moments. I see a thing and I just imagine how it would be if it was made or if
it looked any other way different than the actual way it is. Those are the
moments I am able to use my imagination and well, it is good to use it because
what is not used atrophies and I do not want that for my imagination. Anyways,
so now dear reader you have an idea of the way I think. Now, go back to your
world and I will go back to my wonderful chemical world.
Do you think your views differ much from how other people in your position view things/places?
ReplyDeleteI do believe people take things for granted such like nature, and I don't think it's bad we as people all see things differently, since it's beautiful how unique every person perspective can be.
ReplyDeleteHello Crystal! I like how you express that whenever you feel stressed you go out and look at the mountains. Many people take for granted the beauty of what our island has to offer us and the type of calmness that can be gained from it...

Hi Crystal, welcome to the INTERNET.
ReplyDeletePeople see things according to their professions. I wish this could shine a light on what my future profession should be! Aside from that, I would say that we as humans tend to create a perfect vision of things with our imagination. As to how this could relate, imagination is a complex thing that comes from experience. And all this is tied with what we like to do. So, I guess having a perspective is all about our imagination.
