How to Wonder

File Location:  My Words/Completion (What we know)\Wondering/How to Wonder

To wonder about ssomething

You must give it attention.

(but you cannot just give it attention, since you can give your attention to your television and your mind will still be idle). 

You interpret it.

There comes an immediate interpretation, which is the first thing style of interpretation that comes to mind when you first give your attention to a certain, object.   (how is this possible? Why does this happen?)

Different objects have different immediate interpretations (why is this true?  How does this happen? Could it not be that the lack of the first style of interpretation brings the second style first?)

And just like you interpreted it, you can interpret it again

You understand its meaning

Then you figure out what other meanings it could have.

Wondering = searching or even constructing meanings of obects.

Why = What is the reason/purpose/meaning?

How = What are the causes? ..\Contemplations\Attempts\How and Why.docx

What if = Lets interpret this another way

First you wonder why? And then how?? ....Or do you wonder both jointly? Making why and how one word? ... Or maybe just why?

Example: a booklet on the floor..

(wonder) what is it doing there? “why is it there? What is the reason/purpose/meaning for it being there?”

Interpretation (answer): no reason,

(wonder) what is it doing there? “HOW did it get there? (WHAT ARE THE CAUSES that lead it to get there?”

Interpretation (answer):  it was dropped,

Alternate interpretation: it came from no where

(wonder) how would it come from no where? “why would it come from no where? What are the reasons that it would come from no where?”

Interpretation (answer): [no reasons] or [randomness]

(wonder) how does something come from no where? “How does something come from no where? What are the causes of something coming from no where?”

Interpretation (answer): randomness

(wonder) how do things appear randomly?

Interpretation: well they just do, just like everything else!

Here we have used wondering to come up eith one interpretation of things that everything that we see and not, everything that is, is a result of random events.  We will not get into whether the things that arent are also a result of random events because that would require more interpretation.

But there is still another property we must consider, another step in wondering.  This other step is the question, “what if?”  This question serves to consider other possibilities that may also be true but that we have missed.  With it we look again, and get a different interpretation, a different world, and if we want to be as comprehensive as possible in life, this is what we must do.

What if = What is the result of such and such condtions.
