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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
