"The voice you hear when you read silently" by Thomas Lux was interesting to me this week; by the end of each week I find myself liking the poems especially. I like this poem because of the truth in that any one thing can evoke different emotions in a person, which is exactly what my essay is about. It is something we don't often think about, but our inner voice is always with us, and it's always making connections in the world that aren't being made in the minds of others.
Friday we discussed briefly the four philosophical problems, which hopefully we continue to look at. While the four things may seem harmless or even beneficial, there are deeper effects of each one; knowledge sometimes is better kept to oneself, like in the case of Pandora's box. These problems also stem from within ourselves, relating back to this week's poem. It is important to keep in mind our mind, meaning we should listen to it and acknowledge what it's thinking about even the simplest of things.
