Every Waking Moment

reflections and sensations and also that all knowledge is founded on our experiences. Locke questions on how external objects can be processed through human minds directly without the use of senses. To Locke, this seems quite impossible, and this is because every physical object has its physical characteristics that can only be felt by our senses and if the senses are not used, then it might be impossible to understand them and interpret…

career; whether I 'm headed down the right path or not. There were a few things in the dream that could represent this confusion. One is that I was putting pop in the shake machine. Another is that it was very difficult to find what I needed when in my waking life I know the layout of our stock room without even going back there. The third is the obstacles I had to get through to get to where I needed to be. These could all be examples of confusion. The third example I mentioned in the previous…

their loss of the beauty of the summer as almost catastrophic. Their loss of the summer weather, the wildlife, and the scenery takes a toll on the speaker. However, in the last stanza of the poem they realize that they can cherish the memory of these moments of happiness, but cannot grieve their losses forever. Some aspects of an individual’s life seen irreplaceable and necessary at first. However, upon losing this necessity, an individual realizes that they must accept their loss and move on.…

was your first taste of adulthood, a privilege that is sometimes taken for granted now but when you were young, it was the pinnacle of success. It’s hard for us to recall every waking moment and emotion we have experienced in the past, I can’t remember everything that happened to me my freshman year, I just remember the major moments, the first day of high school, and making new friends. When I think of being fourteen I don’t think about being too young to do things or too old to do others but…

introspective person, consequently, I overthink a lot about what everyone around me might think of me, what they’ll say before they even speak, and how they might judge me at any waking moment. On the contrary, I have come to realize that people aren’t just waking bodies of massive information and unique experiences that’ll judge me at every given turn but people that I share a common trait with: humanity, which is more than enough for…

to an end and when we’ll die, or how, but we know it will happen. There is someone there who stalks our every waking moment and movement. Death is sometimes considered as an instrument by which we measure the value and significance of our lives. Our reaction to death is different from each other. Some are so consumed by grief and agony that they nearly yield themselves. Others take a moment to reflect on life. There are some people who like to write the end of the story of their lives…

Used to Be Change. Such an odd concept, and difficult to accept. One moment everything is golden, glittering…...perfection. Then, you blink. One second of darkness behind closed eyes and people, places, and all traces of a thought dissipate like smoke on a windy day . Gone forever. That person you thought you knew down to the tiniest of detail, is nowhere to be found. She used to be my best friend. A loving, caring, genuine personality, with a heart made of gold. Helping out in any way,…

It is day three in this terrible war, already most of my close friends have gotten killed trying to protect our country. Every time i look around i see dead bodies everywhere, i feel like you have to be crazy if you like fighting and killing people. I honestly would rather be a slave then have to be here, i feel that even slaves have it easier than us, because if they mess up they get hit by their owners but if we mess up we get killed. It's crazy to think that any one of these days i could get…

I will argue that dreams are a flawed reality of the waking life. Dreams are accepted as reality when we dream and can only be refuted when we wake up. I will reason that we accept the dream-state reality as real when we dream, only to wake up with the notion that the perceived reality in the dream is in contrast to the reality of the dream state. In this paper, I will define ‘reality’ as the awakened state of consciousness that is in contrast to the supposed reality of the dream-state. The…

The Moment My Life Began Throughout High School, I was the typical jock. Going to school for me was a breeze; I never did study but always seemed to get good grades. Being in class all I could think about was being on the football field. In my mind, every second I wasted sitting in class was another second I was not on the field. Realizing that I wanted to be on the football field instead of in the classroom caught up to quicker then I could realize. Being in high school was the closes feeling…
