Life is interesting. Why do I say so? Because it’s says that God created man in his own imagine and gave us the capacity to interpret and give meaning to everything he placed on this earth for us. We are all humans, yes. But how we see things may vary from one person to another and even what we like isn’t the same as individuals.
We all have our interests and things that would get us all hyped up. Someone might love to just sit and enjoy the quiet while another person would prefer to have so much laughter around them. As they say, one man’s meat is another man’s poison.
Today, we are talking about art. When we say art, most people might limit it to just paintings but hey, there’s more to art than just paintings. I believe life in itself is art because the whole concept of art exists in our minds or imaginations. How we perceive things matters a lot because that is the only way we either see the beauty or ugliness. I once came across a quote that said ‘ how a man thinketh is who he is’ and it has stuck with me for as long as I can remember.
Personally, I love to read meaning into everything which can be both good and bad. It’s more like me trying to make meaning out of the most random stuff you can think of. To me, that’s the beauty of the mind and imagination because not everyone would see things the way I do. I love challenges and anything that would get me to think and reason deep, sign me up for it.
One thing you’d never find me do is watch a movie or listen to a song which makes no sense to me. The whole purpose of these stuff is for you to be able to relate to the message being relayed to you. Why do you think people listen to songs or watch movies and cry? It’s not because they just woke up and decided to cry. It’s because they were able to resonate with the whole message or moral of the story or song.
While someone may argue that just enjoying something because it exists is good, I’d argue otherwise. Because everything must have a reason for being what it is. There’s a reason why the sky is blue, it’s not just there for decoration. But guess what? We find beauty in the sky, we take pictures of the clouds, the rainbows and even raindrops. So now, tell me why you want to simply accept something because it’s just there. No way!
The mind works in mysterious ways and it’s only when we dig deeper and push ourselves that we would be able to truly know what we are capable of seeing and experiencing. There is a lot to experience and appreciate in this life so why limit yourself? Don’t be left out, think to appreciate!
all images belong to me.
