Meditation in a Toolshed - CS Lewis

The article talked about how you can be looking along a certain thing by experiencing it or you can be looking at that certain thing by watching it and understanding it but not actually experiencing it. The article keeps explaining the two ways of looking: looking along and looking at. It gives examples as that of a man who has fallen in love. Everything will look different for the man who has fallen in love. 'The whole world looks different when he sees her.' However, on a scientist's view (who is just an outsider looking at the situation), this will just be a sexual impulse. After reading this, I thought that it was necessary to look at things in both views, but I also understood that it was hard to do the both things. When we discussed this further in class, we said that if everyone has different perspective and the way each person views stuffs is different then is it possible to see the whole thing? Some day, the new will become old and culture changes. Everything change, and the way we view stuffs will also change. Another question that we came up with was, if experience comes first or understanding comes first? What's the order of it? No one really knows. That's why we need ignorance to be humble in every situation and wisdom to make the right decisions. As a conclusion, we said that we have to stay close to the culture God wants us to be in so that we could have wisdom and humility in every situation.
