One of the romantic ideas: it is the individual that constructs and creates everything that exists.
But isn’t this valid today as well? I create my world as I want it to be. I want a world full of music? Than my world will be full of music. I like reading – my world will contain a lot of books.
I construct my world.
You construct a different world; you construct your own world.
How I see the world depends on my dreams, wishes, imaginations. It depends on my cultural background and education. It depends on my experiences; it depends on my personality.
I decide what shall be important in my world, so I somehow create everything that is in it. And by doing so,
I create my life. Every year, every day, every minute.
There must be thousands and thousands of worlds around me which I do not know. But I can discover them.
Isn’t this a wonderful idea?

It's a wonderful idea, but I wonder how much control we really have. There are many different perspectives to look from; whether it be feminism, socialism etc. However, while I feel we do have choices to create our own world our choices are given to us by society and the world surrounding us. The world that surrounds us though have already been created by others who claim originality.
ReplyDeleteI feel like humans in general are desperate to control their world. For the most part we have convinced ourselves that we do have control and that we are all different. "Under the surface, we are all the same. Searching for purpose, running from shame." - Wideawake
