HW#1 response
I agree with what Banach is trying to say because people only look at things base on what their eyes tell them not base on thought. "Other people only see us from the outside, objectively, and, hard as we may try, we can only see them from the outside." This quote is clear to me because he made me notice that I look at people in that way because I can't tell what they are feeling on the inside but I can judge them on how they are on the outside because that is what my eyes are transferring to me and making the image in my head. The only way in my point of view you can tell what some one is feeling inside is if you get to know them and get their view on life and compare it to your views.

ReplyDeleteI thought that it was a great idea when you used the habits of mind to interpret the quote and I thought that it helped make your post a lot more personally connected. You made a great point when you stated that people only view each other through the outside and not the inside, and that the only way to get to know someone is to learn the inside of that person. I hadn't even thought about that, you see it everyday in your everyday life, you even do it subconsciously to people who pass by you on the street. Next time I think it would be a good idea to talk a little bit more about how to understand a person using the outside and the inside and how to understand yourself. It would have made your post a little bit more deep. However, your post helped me remember that I can never be understood if I don't attempt to understand someone without using the first thing I see as a base. Great first post:p
ReplyDeleteDear Anias,
ReplyDeleteI liked how honest you were in your post. We all judge people by their looks, but I don't think anyone was brave enough to admit it :P I agree that the only way to truly judge someone is through actually getting to know them. So are you saying judging a book by its cover is bad? Should we all be less judgmental of each other? What's on the outside shouldn't be more important then what's on the inside. What I would have loved to see is a little more of what you were thinking on this topic because from what you have written, you had a lot of good arguments. Also you had a few run on sentences, but those are easy to fix :) Over all great post, can't wait to read the next.
