Today in our discussion group we discussed Percy’s question “Is looking like sucking: the more lookers, the less there is to see?” What he means by this is that when you don’t follow your own path and go on a journey to call your own, you won’t enjoy the final product as much as if you were to have your own journey. This is why so many people are let down when they travel for so long to see something that they thought would bring them joy. Instead of giving the looker joy, it ends up making them feel let down. To really be impressed by something, you have to go on your own journey and have lower expectations of what everyone else has. When you are not expecting as much, that is when you are impressed most by something, not when you set your expectations so high. This is the key point that our group made in today’s discussion group, to make your own path.
