In the last paragraph I agree with David Banach when he says, "Each of us is trapped within our own mind" because we all have thoughts and feelings that we keep to ourselves. Even though we let our closest friends in on some of the thougts and feelings that we all still hide maybe because of fear, insecurities, or judgement. We are trapped in our mind in the sense that, when we are alone our mind jumps from one thought to another or just constantly replays that thought or memory in our head whether it makes us happy or sad.
I disagree with Banach when he says,"unable to feel anything but our own feelings and experiences" because I feel that you can understand how someone else feels if you have gone through the same experience as them. Thats like if two friends had deaths in their families, they both understand what each of them are going through even if the people who died had different meanings to them. Each friend knows what it feels like to learn of a death, to be bombarded with "I am sorry for your loss." They know what its like when it feels like no one is allowing you to grieve because they are wondering how your doing and if your okay, when you aren't okay and want to be left alone. You may just want a close family member or friend to hold you and just allow you to cry because that is what you need to do to release a heavy feeling inside of you. But as much as you cry it still seems to loom over you like a dark cloud that hides the beautiful sunshine.

I feel the same way that people are able to feel another human's emotions or feelings. However i disagree with your point about knowing what everyone has gone through. How can you possibly know if a person feels the same way, when not everyone even thinks the same way? Our bodily function to see color varies from person to person, so how can feelings and emotions be the same if even the basic human function is different from person to person?
ReplyDeleteI would suggest next time to elaborate on how "each of us is trapped in our own minds", i felt that this segment was lacking a little as well as a little confusing.
I hope i'm not being mean, but i just didn't want to follow the comment format for Andy snyder cause i already do it for his class so i just jumped to the point.
