In looking at the collage, a seemingly simple connection between the photos is that they all capture a single moment. Though this seems obvious, I was intrigued in reflecting on this idea. Every moment is unique and what one chooses to do with it could shape their entire life. The fact that the moments on the collage were photographed is, statistically, a miracle when all of the seconds in history are taken into account. This is true of life itself, in that the sole fact that each human is alive is improbable. That genes and personality are assigned at random is unlikely in my mind and I believe that each is given a role in society which is determined long before their conception.
Every human being is unique in that no two people will ever be exactly the same. Men and women are also notably different, both biologically and psychologically. Men are generally better suited to be protective of their families and women are better at fulfilling a nurturing role within the home. With the rise in cognitive thinking and attempts of reason, many people today think that men and women are equal when there is psychological evidence that both are wired differently. I think that the way to get back to this humanity is for each to, introspectively, examine themselves and their place in the world. Every moment is an opportunity to make a choice between right and wrong and every second is a chance to start over on a new leaf. I think that, to get back the capacity for being human, we need to realize first the importance of an instant, then how it relates to our ultimate destiny.
This was written really well. The part about it being a miracle that that part of a humans life was captured was a new idea to me, which I love. The end, about people looking at themselves and how everything they do affects the world in some way was a really nice thought and I really wish everyone could read that and make an attempt to better themselves in some way.
