Picture #4

 

Picture from examiner.com

For my final picture, I chose the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. This is both because of my aforementioned enjoyment of words and books, and also because it is the best thing I could find to define "me".  I'm not really a fan of trying to define myself, or anyone, by what their hobbies are or what interests them in high school.  Not to say that the things I like don’t reflect my personality, only that the things I like don’t define it.  I suppose I'm not really sure how I would define myself.  Misters Merriam and Webster say it's "that identical one that is I". 

I'm not really sure what that means, but I intend to find out. From my limited exposure to life, I have come to the conclusion that it is less about what you do know, and more about what you don't. However, it is the desire to learn, to define things, and to find those answers, that makes it okay. I've been thinking that in the end, that's what it comes down to: The awareness of oneself that inspires your interactions, and how your reactions to those interactions form everything that comes afterwards. That's what it's all about: Conscience and Consciousness.


I deeply apologize for how cheesy that was.
