Best of the week: Do You Mind?

When Mr. Allen first introduced Do you mind? I was intrigued and that it was a very interesting thing to do. We get to answer two questions every day that we usually don't get to answer or think about. Answering the questions was only part of the beauty; the real thing that caught my eye was how people answered those questions.
Everyone sees the world in different ways and we often don't realize this. There is a psychology approach that talks about this. The Phenomenological Approach. Even though this is a very long and complicated approach name, all it really means is that people see the world in different ways.
Through answering the same questions and then talking about our answers, I noticed how very true this is. People would answer the question in ways I would never even think of.
People experience things in very different ways than us that is why we are not able to just assume that what and how we see things is the right way. It might be the right way for us, but the completely wrong way for someone else... this is what makes the world so interesting and every person so unique. People find beauty in the randomest things for the most random reasons. This is the whole reason there is so much creativity and uniqueness in the world.  It's Awesome!
