Are You Intrigued?
October 10, 2011 by Jess
In the past few weeks I’ve read “Liking What You See”, “Cicero De Inventione Book 1”, Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, “What’s Manly, What’s Not For Athletes”, “The Televised Sports Manhood Formula”, and two of Vonnegut’s speeches. Along with all this reading I also watched the hour long video on fractals, and another on the “Top Ten Creative Hockey Goals”. I’ve racked my brain comparing all these to beauty and finding beauty in all of them in some way.
They were all about beauty whether it be physical, eloquently, manly/womanly, in nature, and even having beauty in optimism or pessimism. As I read the previously stated writings and watched the previously stated videos, I clearly saw all this beauty, but did I see something more? Was there something else that all of these had in common? Something intriguing? Or maybe it was just something simple? Perhaps there’s nothing at all and only beauty can be seen.
Well, I’m here to say that there is something more. Something, in my opinion, intriguing and completely worth while.
All these pieces have something that shows they want to change the world in some way. All these pieces, writers, videos, everything are looking to change the world in one way or another. They want to change the world in society’s views and just in general as well. I believe that all of them could and did change the world or a part of the world in some way.
