Thought of the day

After taking sociology for so long..i start to understand human more and more.Human is meaning-seeking creature.This does not mean that human try to understand or do research in the area tht they do not understand.Instead, human try to interpret things that they see or feel based on their own interest.Human try to explain their feelings in their terms,so that they will be feel better although it may no necessary right,and sometimes contradicting.In one of the breaching experiments done by Garfinkel,parent tried to make sense of their childre's action,when they acted as if they're in hotel staffs.Parents tried to give meanings to their children's action,and eventually went crazy with their children's behaviour.This showed that we use a lot of our effort to give meanings to the things we see.We constantly try to interpret things around us and to some extent, make it sound good to please ourself.For those who are extreme, people imagine things to confort themselve and to make their life happier.
