In A Hill Far Away, Annie Dillard is taking an evening stroll around a creek near her home when she comes across a young boy. The boy seems about eight years old and is of small stature. Dillard sees him through a barbed wire fence, where he is playing, as a child might. Eventually, the boy gains sight of Dillard and comes over to say hello. While Dillard is speaking to the boy, she is mentally making judgments over him. Soon enough, the boy starts looking even more nervous than usual and asks Dillard a seemingly forced question.…
In each of their works, Dillard, Heat-Moon, and Hutto illustrate that every moment holds boundless wonder. As humans we are wired to look at the future. It is basic preservation. We are always thinking about the next step. Unfortunately, this means that we are often oblivious to the breathtaking world we live in. Throughout “Seeing”, Annie Dillard described in exquisite detail the world around her, from the creek near her house to the reactions of people newly given with their sight, she tells us what is missed by living in our own minds. Dillard states, “With the naked eye I can see two million light-years to the Andromeda galaxy” (7). Humans have the capacity to observe stars millions of miles away, yet how many actually take the time…
Annie Dillard wrote the essay “Seeing”, which is about the ability to change your perspective on the world around you. Throughout her essay, the author refers to objects such as blades of grass and the universe to demonstrate to her readers that many things are sometimes forgotten or not thoroughly thought about. The author uses themes such as the effect light and dark have on seeing, the difference between the natural obvious and the artificial obvious and the growth and change of perspective from childhood to adult hood to describe her perspective on seeing.…
As human beings, we are usually never content with what we have already got. And even when we do appreciate it the situation tends to change and want just the opposite. The human mind is dynamic and it always finds itself having some type of expectation from life or situation. The expectation is always in an ever-changing mode in the pursuit of extremely opposite entities. e.i. instead of the color black, you want white or when you are stranded on a dessert, you want to be somewhere freezing…
* How can we know for certain that the world is how we perceive it and not just a veil over our eyes?…
When watching or listening to TV shows, music and movies, we don’t stop to realize the…
“One reason for overlooking this vital fact is that we are estranged from reality and inclined to treat as valueless everything that we have not made ourselves.” (15) Human nature…
We often wonder if reality is as real as it seems, and if we are part of a world that is real or fictional. Everyday before our eyes, we expose ourselves to objects; those whom we have comprised ideas of universal design. Take a bus for example, to see it pass by once, twice, or three times a day is no surprise to us. Similarly, we live with those things all the time, whether it’s our bed, a clock, a television, a car, or a chair. But when our eyes fix themselves to new objects, which at first we have vague ideas or lack prior knowledge about, we dumbfound ourselves and think it is “out of this world”. Gradually we incorporate it into our lives; spreading new knowledge. Just think of the time cell phones first came out and how…
This is because people in general have their own way to see things, some believe perception may be influenced from earlier life “disturbances” (Barclay, 2016, p. 148-149). Like, the HCAP model, “Mental Optometry and Emotion vs. Truth” a person is directed to develop insightfulness based on actual happening and turns away from allowing the mind to be fooled by the unsettling inner feelings ensuring they learn to perceive life as it is full of bountiful vibrancy and never ending positive opportunities (Barclay, 2016, p. 156-157).…
Further we rely on our ability to predict the difference between interesting and un-interesting experiments. In particular, we rely on most of our day consisting of rather un-interesting experiments, such a taking a step, consulting our pay-stub, or greeting a friend. If all of these events were suddenly to be come interesting, we would be in trouble. What if it was a coin-flip whether my car starts, the floor is there, my paycheck comes, or my old friend recognizes me? Life would be unlivable. We are careful to know when an interesting experiment is coming: we put our attention on it, we plan for the various eventualities, it punctuates the otherwise more predictable parts of our life.…
It is universal that when we have desires for something unattainable, we do not often…
The infinite truth about various mysteries is, nothing exists; all is a dream. Man—the world—the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars—all are our dreams; they have no existence. Nothing exists except the empty space—and for all of us, there is nothing beyond! And you are but a thought (Mark Twain, 1835-1910). We have no control over any matter or object that we see. The entire humanity is situated at the heart of despair. The current social, political and global scenario filled with natural calamities shares our life’s journey filled with misery, anguish and pain. Is this whole creation deceptive within that enticing pool of life we see with our eyes open? What we see around us may not…
Our perceptions arise as an accumulation of internal and external factors. Humans have philosophized over time a notion of “free will”, which in essence leaves us at liberty to make our own decisions. However science…
