Thoughts, Words and Photos (Nineteen)

in #photography7 years ago

We all live in bubbles of various shapes, sizes, constructions based on our experience and willingness to go out and experience more. A lot of people are under the impression that in order to be creative, one must experience a lot and they take this to mean travel and see the world but what of the creatives who didn't? How far did Shakespeare or Da Vinci travel in their lives?

I have talked about it before but the world is filled with inspiration and even the smallest details can offer food for imaginary thought, the psychological impetus to push the thinking. I have been investigating this in myself lately to see how my mind looks at these details to try and discover how it jumps fro one thought to the next and the way it builds bridges to close the gaps in seemingly unrelated thoughts. It isn't very easy to do, the mind works fast.

Since childhood, I have always wondered why we aren't trained to improve our thinking, why schooling systems haven't at least attempted to develop our ability to process and parse information through. Imagine how much better off we would be as a community and society if all within had actively worked to improve their thinking abilities. I don't just mean their rational processes either, but the creative sides where boundaries can be pushed until the walls of the box no longer hold firm.

The other day a friend of mine said about herself that I am no imaginative' but, I do not believe this to be true at all as I think all have the ability and all use it however, some are more willing than others to push the boundaries a little more, increase the discomfort. I have a feeling that many people limit thinking because they judge their thoughts as good or bad as if what they think about is reality.

There is the idea of 'What we think, we become' and people take this to mean whatever we think but this is not the case. It is what we think and act upon that creates us, what we believe. We are more than capable of having thoughts, investigating concepts and putting ourselves into a whole range of fantastical positions without acting upon them or, even wanting to act upon them. In my experience, it is often those who are only willing to think narrowly and commit action without imagination who behave the worst as it is they who have not questioned if there is another way.

Our thoughts are like castle built in the air. When we put the efforts to act upon them we built the proverbial pillars to support them. You always have a way of putting your message across. Thanks @tarazkp

Good point with Shakespeare and Da Vinci. Moreover, back then, they could not go to google images or wikipedia and see photos and read about destinations and wonders of the world.

You pointed out in one of your previous posts that happiness is in the small things and I agree that inspiration can also be found everywhere if we look for it.

Cheers! : )

Imagine what they could do if some of the people of the past had access to the internet.

amazing shots of water drops, thanks for sharing

I found out that meditation helps a lot having cleared toughts and concentrating more and also having a good night of sleep :)

Youre right, our boundaries often bind us into bubbles that we must recognise before we can leave them

I found your post on motivation, to live more independently and away from people we care about.
I tried the standalone and responsibility.
thanks @tarazkp

This was a really interesting read :) Typically writers often have their own theme and style; something they naturally gravitate towards depending on their life experiences. It's what we strengthen in our minds that determine what we see and hear. So I imagine that someone could travel the length and breadth of this earth yet experience less than someone who remains in one place if their minds are not open to new thoughts and perceptions; that we simply take our predetermined views and opinions with as as luggage and their contents still remain fully present and well used upon our return home.

I supose you may consider me to be a bit of an "anti-establishment" type when I say that schools discourage free thinking because the system can't control the free thinkers of the world. While I dislike to think such things, with what I personally observe, one can't help but consider it...
