Imitation
Imitation, this topic was a part of our literary criticism paper and I really enjoyed learning this concept because it made me find how we live our life just by imitation of others. We all call our life to be unique but we all one or otherway we have someone's reflection in us that is what made me think so much today.
We all have been the victim of imitation, the first time that we started to imitate is being a kid we speak by imitation of words from our parents then we learnt to walk by seeing someone who walked, we learn to swim because we saw someone swimming, we learn to listen because we saw someone listening to us while we are speaking, we learnt drive because we saw someone driving and wanted to learn the same, we got a skill of reading because we saw someone reading, we got to write because we saw someone writings, likewise everything we do was done by someone or someone told us to do so, in fact everything we practice today was taught by someone so whole life is an imitation. The art of imitation is what life is now an art. Literature also build because of the existence of the quality of imitation, we see people tell each other as copy cats but to be honest we all are copy cats maybe we have few uniqueness but most of our life is an imitation of someone's life. Even in name of tradition we find imitation of some practices which we follow the same procedure. Culture again is an imitation and the whole lot of things are imitation. I was so suprise about this in the morning while I was writing my exam and felt that everyone should know that we are imitating someone conciously or unconsciously.
This question raised in my brain, if someone could answer do answer to this, the question is that What is individuality when we do things mostly by imitation? We talk about being individual that we have a unique mindset, we make decisions in a different way, we think different, we act different then how come we are just imitating everything. Literally my brain is full of this thoughts from morning. So this is all about my blog which made me write about out curiosity and also a bit of confusions too. Will meet you in the next blog.
