Mr. Summers asked us an interesting question last class, while holding up a plain piece of blank, white, printer paper - "How is the entire world contained in this piece of paper?"
And honestly, I don't know the answer.
If I would have to guess, I would say that it is something involving the fact that the paper is blank - there is absolutely nothing written on it. Therefore, it has pure potentiality. Which is kinda like the whole world - there is unlimited potential to achieve anything we want, anything we desire, and anything we can even imagine. Which is absolutely incredible!
But that's just my take on it.
Hey Jordan,
ReplyDeleteI love reading everyone's comments about the blank piece of white paper containing the entire world. Every answer is imaginative and creative and beautifully UN-wrong... That's the wonder of subjectivity--it calls forth what's deep inside and what we project onto the world and your concept of "pure potentiality" is beautiful and says something about you. Thanks. Mr. S
