Symbolism as a medium of community is gradually disappearing. De-symbolization and de-ritualization condition one another.
The Disappearance of Rituals
Byung-Chul Han and Daniel Steuer
As adults, we have to take responsibility for ourselves and nurture a healthy, liberated mind-set. We need to put ourselves out there, give it our all, and reap the lesson, win or lose. The fact of the matter is that there will be nothing learned from any challenge in which we don’t try our hardest. Growth comes at the point of resistance. We learn by pushing ourselves and finding what really lies at the outer reaches of our abilities.
The Art of Learning
Josh Waitzkin
Your Turn: How to be specific Start in the action. Describe tiny, true details. Zoom in on one small scene of a bigger story. Draw the reader or listener into a single moment in time. Help the audience experience what the characters experience as events unfold. Ground the audience in time and place with locations, character names, seasons and so on. Paint a picture of what the characters in the story are seeing, smelling and experiencing. Describe emotions and reactions, rather than stating how someone or something felt.
