cafe, chocolat and meaning
I have always been fond of eating chocolates and drinking coffee. But it's only when I'm at this point in my life that I was able to see a deeper sense of meaning on these two. And it's quite funny how people tend to attach more meaning to very simple things (or food, for that) just so it could affect them in a very personal way. I think that's just what I did with coffee and chocolate. It is my way of putting them in my own perspective. It's my way of making them my own. Of course, coffee and chocolate are everywhere, and in many different forms. But when we attach a meaning into it, something that we have attached to it on our own, we tend to believe that it is ours. But actually, there may also be a thousand more people out there who think the same way. Very interesting!
We are in a world where the meanings and symbolisms are rather used frequently, in an attempt to discover a new sense of being. They are an important aspect of human life (or human nature) I guess, and there is indeed something very much we could learn from the symbolic interactionists. Hmm, I guess I have to review my theories one of these days. Have to practice your sociological brain cells every now and then to not loose those very perspective I've tried to understand for 5 or 6 years.
I'm just in a thinking mode I guess. Nothing much to tell, although my brain is wacking me up these days, with all the pressures and everything! I have much to tell really, only, it's much easier to say something that's not bothering you rather than about what's occupying your mind. At least you have a time off from thinking those things. **winks** But of course, it's just a rather small amount of time. Upon clicking the "Publish Post" button, all these philosophizing or sociologizing will disappear because I have more important things to attend to.
