I mean living your normal life everyday without meaning is the same thing as being in a carousel going round and round without any end. It’s until we find a meaning or purpose in life that we can really say that we are truly free in this world or this life for that matter.Elwin Sozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693769282814991845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746185529766786528.post-30557566301554408952010-01-15T14:09:48.448-08:002010-01-15T14:09:48.448-08:00I really liked this picture.

I can picture the music of the carousel while these seahorses are flying out. Its a beautiful picture.Lourdeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694880392366043863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746185529766786528.post-58074990505901976792010-01-14T07:30:13.847-08:002010-01-14T07:30:13.847-08:00This poem is showing the comparison of a seahorse ...This poem is showing the comparison of a seahorse to the human brain. It is showing how we all long for freedom and happiness. Our lives are like a carousel that keep going round and round like circles, yet we still want freedom along the way. I really liked this poem. In the picture I do see two sea horses facing one another.Yari Triayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07373390364619699946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746185529766786528.post-87031948180825752322010-01-14T07:29:51.949-08:002010-01-14T07:29:51.949-08:00looking at the gilded seahorses escape the carouse...looking at the gilded seahorses escape the carousel, i see two people frustrated about the same thing and ready to kill each other alive, but when they come to contact there is a stronger and more dangerous force ready to defeat them, if they dare to touch.Rgourdethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886059732005617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746185529766786528.post-71931806427959484022010-01-14T07:25:04.680-08:002010-01-14T07:25:04.680-08:00I enjoyed this poem.

They left what they were so used to and tried to discover other ways of living. They tried finding righteousness and happiness and tried changing themselves. As the carousel continued moving, they continued wondering what was offered out there.Ashleymariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969245819142557133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746185529766786528.post-34421213760575979032010-01-14T07:21:56.863-08:002010-01-14T07:21:56.863-08:00I like this poem very much.

As humans, we yearn to be free, but what is freedom? Sartre, an existentialist, would himself question what freedom truly is as well. Our hippocampus, in the shape of a sea horse (good use of vocabulary there), retains all our memories, those which influence us in our behavior. If some past memories are negative and fear lives within us because of these memories, are we free? Would then real freedom be forgetting all our memories and living each day as if it were our first, like the gilded seahorses on the carousel? That is the real question. I see the sea horses facing each other, as they would be, trapped on a carousel.Miriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478508433173252030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746185529766786528.post-24072695657928887682010-01-14T07:05:15.370-08:002010-01-14T07:05:15.370-08:00I agree on this ink block I do see two or more se...I agree on this ink block I do see two or more seahorses in this picture.
