What comes to mind is anyone explaining a subject thoroughly either by a speech or writing. Being enlightened to any subject shows how different reality is in different parts of the world. One thing that is normal to me could be luxury or an oddity to others from somewhere else.

That’s true. It definitely shows us when we’re taking the things around us for granted.

Sounds to me like when somebody tells you some thing to “enlighten” you. The world is a dump from an enlightened point of view

You’re not totally wrong.

Sarah

Well that’s depressing.

Nice

Knowledge comes to mind. It’s made things easier and given me the ability to see things from other peoples perspective because I know more about it.

That’s what I thought too

Brenna

That’s awesome.

It’s a good mindset to have, especially as an adult.

To me, the word enlightenment reminds me of a burden or obstacle getting lifted off your shoulders. I have learned to accept the hardships that life throws in my path, in turn to move past them and focus on my own goals in life.

Robyn

That makes sense in its own way

Katelyn

Interesting but accurate way it’s seen.

Elightenment makes me think of knowledge. Becoming enlightened can help people to see things in a new “light”. Learning new information about different things will usually change my opinion about something or at least help me to see it from a different perspective.

Brook

I agree

Kayla

3/4/2019 10:06:27 am

That is definitely true.

Nate

3/4/2019 10:07:51 am

Sounds interesting

Cherish

3/4/2019 10:08:17 am

I totally agree that it makes you see things differently.

Hailey Jo

I feel the same way

Kayla

3/4/2019 10:05:34 am

The first thing I think of is knowledge or learning. You are able to learn more about certain things and it can give you a different perspective.

Hailey Jo

It opens your mind to new things

Robyn

What I think when I think of enlightenment is having learned something you previously did not, or were confused about.

Brenna

3/4/2019 10:08:31 am

Good example.

Connor

3/4/2019 10:06:20 am

I see it as a change in how you see the world and you change how you are because of it.

Nick

3/4/2019 10:10:23 am

Same, I agree.

Brenna

3/4/2019 10:06:39 am

When I hear the word “enlightenment” I think about knowledge. Being enlightened in different areas makes some things easier.

Kayla

3/4/2019 10:07:39 am

True

Hailey Jo

3/4/2019 10:08:51 am

I think of opening up your mind and getting to know more about something new. Brightening up your knowledge. Being “enlightened” in different areas has opened up my mind and life to different things.

Nick

3/4/2019 10:08:55 am

I think being enlightened in different areas can b a good thing and bring new perspectives.

Cherish

3/4/2019 10:10:10 am

I agree. It can also help to move on from past experiences that may not have been the most ideal.

Will

What comes to mind, is when someone is explaining something that I did not know anything about that subject.

Brandon Westfall

Enlightenment is the attainment of knowledge that no one else has or that you believe to be true. It can be knowledge in either religion or the sciences. I have not really become enlightened in anything.

Nate

3/4/2019 10:11:32 am

That last sentence is very correct

Saymen

When I hear the word enlightenment I would think of like new discovery’s over new 💡 ideas like technology information you hear from someone or something that would change the world 🌎 for example like the invention of Facebook and many communications technology’s.
