This Is Water


I think that every human is a different person. They have a different mind, body, instincts ect. So no matter what appears in front of the person, their minds process of finding an answer is different from any person in the world. Reason is because we all have different minds. So every day in a person life, he will be confronted with a question that he has to answer. Or, he will be giving something where he will have to make a choice. So within every choice a certain person makes, it will make him engage the world differently. So I think David Foster Wallace hits the point dead on.

The way you engage a certain choice is the steps your mind goes through. Your values of certain things also help in this decision making. A person that has different values than another person might choose something different than the other person. Reason is because in both of the men/women lives, they might think that what they are doing is correct. Also, if a person thinks what they are doing is right, it’s extremely hard for them or anybody to get them to change their mind.

The way I engage this choice is I weigh my values. I try to think about what is right and what is wrong. My decision could be right or wrong in different people’s eyes, but in my eyes, my choice is correct. Which is why I think that arguing with another person is irrelevant because it’s really hard to change a person’s mind unless you give direct proof that they can see, hear, and touch.

The way I would like to engage this choice is by making the right choice. However, in my eyes, whatever choice I make, I believe is the right choice. So I am already fulfilling what I hope to achieve. However, that doesn’t mean that the choice that I make, is the correct choice among society. To me, I don’t always want to have the same choice of society though, because if I did and everybody in the world had the same perspective, the whole world would be the same. There would no diversity at all if that would happen. To add that all together, nobody’s earth life would mean anything. The only life that would mean something is the life after death with God.

The people would clap at the wrong moments because they are getting the wrong point of the message. They don’t really know what David is talking about. However, it is hard to understand him without some text in front of you. Reason is David uses an incredible amount of double entendres in the message he is giving.
