Writing vs. Visualizing WYSIWYG? Not always!
With all the interest in "Pinterest", as well as Tumblr, couple that with the "Like" button for all the photos that catch your eye on Facebook, I wonder if we focus too much on visuals, thus forgetting the art of writing.
Placing emphasis on what we see has a stimulating effect on our minds, however, when we are reading something, we are placing that specific content inside our brains for later use, and this has, actually, a long-lasting effect, like a study case which we carry with us for years and years...
.... Mind vs. Brain
We rely too much on visuals, trying to see the impossible at times, while missing, at times, the obvious picture in front of us, that small detail, however, when we are writing something, we are more likely to remember it, not fooling the mind, thus, not deceiving it in such a way that a photo or a video can, because we are not missing any piece of any puzzle when we look at a word, a line or a phrase that we had just written...
... Forgetting vs. Remembering
A picture is worth a thousand words?
But these thousand words were never written instead of any picture, nor have been placed under any picture as a caption. What's more, you are more likely adding a caption after a photo has been taken in order for "the picture" to be complete.
Just like music goes with lyrics, so photos go with captions, or else we wouldn't know where it was taken, or in most cases, what would it imply. A picture can be altered, it can mislead someone, it can only capture a part of a story just like a video captures a part of the action. This is where the mass deception begins. Pictures create thousand words after it was taken, it creates a discussion.
A picture has a thousand interpretations, for it is all in the beholder's mind, only words have a thousand truths, for they reside right in front of both the writer and the reader, subsequently. A picture has the "ooh" factor, while the writing has that "wow" effect.
Trusting on a visual opens you up to apparitions which are meant to deter you from the real "picture" message. Relying on the word of the writing feather, has you trusting on the words that have been poured from its ink...
... Deception vs Inception
Funny thing: the internet has given people a network in order to communicate, to blog their opinions, yet sharing has become much the most anticipated thing, and pictures is the "cool" thing.
Infinite vs the Definite...
... You can either be swept up infinitely by a picture and its theme, or you can be inspired by a picture to write something that would definitely be much more of an inscription into a book or a blog post - that is called creativity. However...
... However, most often than not, you are bound to take on the belief that you are meant to see, thus forgetting the trust that the word "understanding" has, as you are taking on the "interpretation" which a picture has instead.
Writing means learning, whereas a picture means pleasure.
