Learning to see

I have learned a lot since we started our discussions about visual rhetoric, some things I love and others not that much.
I love being able to go beyond what my eyes see, especially in a world where everything seems to be so superficially oriented. It also feels good to be challenged to prove how much I can get from seeing something. It is nice to know that no matter who might be behind the making of an ad, they have left part of themselves on their work .Their vision is imprinted in one way or another in what they do. Is so enriching to know how someone else thinks.
On the other side, I have to be honest and say that I have this thing about salesmen that makes me furious. I have always felt that they’ll do whatever it takes—especially lie—to get you to buy something. Unfortunately that’s what I’m reminded of when I see an advertisement lately; I feel threatened. Another fact, that I think it’s sad, is that I feel like the magic is lost when I start analyzing everything. Is like learning how the special effects of your favorite movie were made; suddenly, the sense of wonder and the child-like dreaming that you felt the first time, are blown away like a candle’s flame.
I price the ability to dream, is such a powerful force that breaks any fear I might have. It pushes away my evil self, and opens the curtains to dispel my own darkness.
