Phantom Limbs

A phantom limb is a reality in an amputees mind. Evaluate a different situation where a reality only exists in a persons mind. Have you every experienced a reality that only existed in your mind?

An example would be when a person has experienced an euphoria situation and that situation is taken away from that person. The person would feel the nostalgia afterward when he experienced a similar situation in the future. A good example would be the joy of going to the beach. The smell of the ocean and the scenery can be triggered inside the person’s brain when he does something that even have a slightly connection to the joy that he has experienced from going to the beach. So whenever the person sees salt water, he would be reminded of the time he went to the beach and it would triggered the scenery inside his brain.

My own personal experience is when i dislocated my shoulder and the pain was unbearable. so whenever something happened to my shoulder, a cruciating memory of the incident appeared inside my mind. And it just flicks back to the memory of being in pain. the vivid memory lasted a while because the incident was too much for my brain to compansate. So whenver i do something that put a strain to my shoulder, it reminds me of that incident.

If something lies outside our realm of perception, then how can we know it?

An example would be that everyone will have to die some day. We know that for a fact because we experienced it every day even though we don’t see it every time. It is just a fact that nobody is immortal. It is something that we learned as we grow older. we learned facts everyday through our sensory perceptions. These facts will add up and caused us to understand the world better. the fact that we die someday is not something that we know since we are still living. But the fact that we know for SURE that we die is because of the things that happened in our history that we have learned. The answer to the question are we going to die is an obvious yes, but the how and why part is something that we have yet to experienced. Natural science is one of our areas of knowledge and to die sometimes in the future is certain because it is natural for people to die and it is normal. To sum it all up, the little things that we learned each and everday will contribute to the history of our mind and we get smarter and understand more and more about the things that are going on around us everyday. These little things will be enough for us to make predictions about how we see the future.

Why does nearly all propaganda take the form of art?

Propaganda usually take the form of art because art is the expression of each individualism. Art can take form of many things because art is almost everything. People can look at a piece of artwork and be able to reflect upon themselves. propaganda can make people look at them in a way that the people will be able to reflect upon themselves. Art is everything around us and its values are unmeasurable. when propaganda take the form of art, people cannot do anything about it but to respect it. In another word, art can brainwash anyone’s brain if there is some sort of connection with that piece of art.
