How do you see things?
This question came up last night during our finance lesson, and my Dad told us a story about it.
My brother’s music teacher asked him that question, specifically towards a piece of music that he was playing on the cello. Lucas replied, ‘In colours.’ Heather, his music teacher, asked him what colour he saw the piece as, and he immediately said ‘red’, as the piece was short but majestic.
Similarly, my Dad asked me the same question. How do you see things?
I immediately replied “sounds.”
For me, I see things in sound. I relate everything back to it, whether it be emotions, ideas, people or places. Personally, everything relates back to a specific sound, or a piece of music.
This powerful but underrated question really intrigues me.
Everyone sees things differently – in sounds, patterns, colours, visual images or something else. This ‘vision’ of seeing things is important because it’s how we connect to the world around us. It’s how we learn. It’s how we understand things.
So, how do you see things? In colours? In sounds? In patterns? Or something completely different?
